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

The easiest is to simply do

open /Applications/Emacs.app --args foo

An alias would then be

alias emacs=open /Applications/Emacs.app --args "${@}"

or in csh/tcsh

alias emacs 'open /Applications/Emacs.app --args $1'

edit: this seems to need a full path to open the correct file... I don't know if this is a problem with Emacs.app or with tcsh
