Hi,

I have a new mac system in my hand. I installed emacs which I use most often
to edit my programs. However, here I can't open the file from shell 'in a
new window' with the command:

'emacs filename &'

Although it does open with 'emacs filename' in the shell. However, to make
sure the programmes run correctly, I need to open several of them at a time
and run it in the same shell.

I would be extremely happy to get help from you in this regard.
Thanks,
Subhaditya

When you invoke on the command line

	which emacs

you'll receive information of the path to that "emacs" programme. A  
different "Emacs" programme might be launched by invoking

	open Emacs

or

	open Emacs.app

Since last millennium I haven't met an "emacs" programme which needs  
to be invoked many times and always in the same shell to work. But I  
also do not use "a new mac system" like an iPad or such... (which  
surely is no Mac system)
