Don't give the second name on the command line!

Another option: start emacs-server and use emacsclient to send files  
to GNU Emacs. As in, for example (more BSD than Linux):

        apply emacsclient file1 file2

or

        apply 'emacsclient <options>' file1 file2

This can also be used with loops in your shell.

$ sumascii BILL GATES
  B   I   L   L   G   A   T   E   S
 66+ 73+ 76+ 76+ 71+ 65+ 84+ 69+ 83 = 663

 and add 3 because he's Bill Gates the third.
