Re: Mac terminal.app: starting emacs, possibly as sudo

[Marius Hofert <marius.hofert@math.ethz.ch>]

Dear Perry, Dear Peter,

thanks for your detailed explanations. 
I finally used put in "export PATH=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH" in ~/.profile, so now I can call "emacs" from within the terminal (e.g., via sudo) and get the desired result.

Cheers,

Marius
