If you are using the OpenWindows or X Window System, type
emacs <filename> &.
This will start up Emacs in a new window with a buffer containing
< filename>, which can be an existing
file or the name of a file that you want to create. For example,
to create a file called testfile, use:
If you are using a Digital VT220 terminal then your terminal type
should be set to vt100. You can check what your terminal
type is set to by typing echo $TERM. This variable is
set up when you log in to the machine.
To start editing a file on a vt100 terminal, first make
sure your terminal type is set properly
math joe % echo $TERM
vt100
Then type emacs <filename> at the
UNIX prompt.
math joe % emacs filename
