Hi Ashley,

I think directly from the command line you can only either run "emacs
-nw" or you have to call /Application/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs.
You can of course make a shell alias for this.

This situation should probably be handled better, but somebody has to
write the code for that.

Hope this helps,
benny
