If you want to run a command-line version of emacs, just type: emacs -nw
Emacs 23.1
I am using emacs 23.1.1 and love it. I had not used it on my Linux system till I switched jobs (due to layoff....) and my new job is with a company that is a MAC shop. So I started using on the MAC and found I wanted it on my Linux system. However, I am wonder is some one can point me to the command line (non-GUI) of emacs like on the MAC. Thanks, Jim
