[Orgmode] Re: Emacs opens a frame for each file in agenda list on org-mobile

[Christopher Long]

Dear Steve and All,

 I've been able to suppress the problem by commenting out one line 
(line 232) in org-mobile.el
(in the version of org I just recently got from git, 6.33f+).  That line is:

;;      (push (cons file link-name) rtn))

 Unfortunately, this also suppresses the update of the .org file of 
interest in the staging directory.
Can anyone fluent in list propose how to update the org file without 
having the file "pop" open
on Windows XP?

 Also, it is not simply an "emacsclient" issue as I was first guessing.
If I use a .txt file as my org file of interest this gets opened by 
notepad rather than emacs
(since I have not "told" Windows to open .txt files with emacs, but I 
have allowed org to use txt files.)
(Also note, .txt files are not supported in the present version of 
mobileorg, but Richard has written
a version which should be able to access them in the future.)

 Here are more details:

file: org-6.33f\lisp\org-mobile.el

I traced the problem by following:
1. defun org-mobile-push which calls org-mobile-files-alist
2. defun org-mobile-files-alist contains
     (push (cons file link-name) rtn))

Thanks!

Stoph
