@cindex emacsclient, on MS-Windows
Note that, due to limitations of MS-Windows, Emacs cannot have both
GUI and text-mode frames in the same session. It also cannot open
text-mode frames on more than a single @dfn{Command Prompt} window,
because each Windows program can have only one console at any given
time. For these reasons, if you invoke @command{emacsclient} with the
@option{-c} option, and the Emacs server runs in a text-mode session,
Emacs will always create a new text-mode frame in the same
@dfn{Command Prompt} window where it was started; a GUI frame will be
created only if the server runs in a GUI session. Similarly, if you
invoke @command{emacsclient} with the @option{-t} option, Emacs will
create a GUI frame if the server runs in a GUI session, or a text-mode
frame when the session runs in text-only mode in a @dfn{Command
Prompt} window. @xref{emacsclient Options}.
