RE: opening file in unix emacs

[Leip, Eric]

Thanks for the reply.  When I typed "type emacs" I got:

/usr/local/bin/emacs

and that emacs file is:

SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pa1.1:/usr/local/lib/pa1.1/X11 
/usr/local/bin/emacs-run

and I can't look at emacs-run.

Try the commands:

    which emacs 

or

    type emacs 

to discover what program you invoke. Then ckeck what this program is.
It could be a script...
