Not 'directly', the EDITOR variable has to be the name of an _executable_, it is passed to exec and friends, as the executable to load. There -may- be annother environment variable that emacs _itself_ looks at for start-up switch settings, (the 'minimal' manpage I have access to doesn't mention any, but I'm _not_ an emacs user and don'k have full docs available) If all else fails, put the 'command' equivelent of '-nw' in your emacs start-up file. > Do I really need a script which in turns call emacs -nw? Authoritative answer: 'maybe'. <grin> See above for some 'possible' alternatives. <cite> classic advice concerning the 'fine manual' </cite> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
