emacs how to launch it
I recommande this way :
emacs -nw --no-splash
man emacs will tell you :
-nw, --no-window-system
Tell Emacs not to create a graphical frame. If you use this switch when invoking Emacs from
an xterm(1) window, display is done in that window.
--no-splash
Do not display a splash screen during start-up.
You can add this to your .bash_aliases
alias emacs='emacs -nw --no-splash'
And this to your .bashrc
export EDITOR='emacs -nw --no-splash'
