Subject: Mac terminal.app: starting emacs, possibly as sudo
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:26:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <300A41B7-78F8-422C-BF95-6FFEF947E79A@math.ethz.ch> (raw)

Hi,

If I start "emacs" from the Mac terminal (Terminal.app), I get a rather old GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (/usr/bin/emacs) instead of the wonderful new GNU Emacs 23.3 I installed. 
1) How can I have the new emacs version opened when typing "emacs" in the terminal? 
2) Is it possible to start emacs in "sudo mode", so starting  emacs via "sudo emacs" in the terminal (and then being root when opening a shell from within emacs)?
I know I can have 1) by typing "open -a Emacs.app", but that does not allow 2). 

Cheers,

Marius
