How to start “emacsformacosx” in terminal

Question

I am using MAC OX 10.6 , and install the emacs from here http://emacsformacosx.com/

I want to know how to start it in terminal, so my ecb can open current directory<

Answer 1

In my ~/.profile i have the following:

function emacs
{
    if [ -e "$@" ]
    then
        command open -a emacs "${@}"
    else
        touch "$@"
        command open -a emacs "${@}"
    fi
}

(The reason for having a function is to make it also work when the specified file does not yet exist when emacs is started)
