Thanks for reply. Well, actually what I try to do is to keep an emacs 
daemon in the background. Whenever I finished editing, I would delete 
the frame while keeping the emacs running as daemon in the background. 
And next time when I wish to edit anything, I would use the emacsclient 
command in the terminal. `emacsclient -c -a ""` somehow does the work, 
but it occupies the terminal until the new emacsclient frame is killed, 
and that is the reason why I added the `-n` flag.
