1# This defines a bash command named `edit' which contacts/resumes an
2# existing emacs or starts a new one if none exists.
3#
4# One way or another, any arguments are passed to emacs to specify files
5# (provided you have loaded `resume.el').
6#
7# This function assumes the emacs program is named `emacs' and is somewhere
8# in your load path. If either of these is not true, the most portable
9# (and convenient) thing to do is to make an alias called emacs which
177c0ea7 10# refers to the real program, e.g.
