- # This defines a bash command named `edit' which contacts/resumes an
- # existing emacs or starts a new one if none exists.
- #
- # One way or another, any arguments are passed to emacs to specify files
- # (provided you have loaded `resume.el').
- #
- # This function assumes the emacs program is named `emacs' and is somewhere
- # in your load path. If either of these is not true, the most portable
- # (and convenient) thing to do is to make an alias called emacs which
- # refers to the real program, e.g.
- #
- # alias emacs=/usr/local/bin/gemacs
- #
