It's been pointed out to me that the Emacs front end to emacs has the path /usr/bin/emacs built in as the place to find an emacs executable. This gives you (at least) three choices if you want to use it as a front end to the emacs-18.59 executable I posted today: (a) save /usr/bin/emacs as /usr/bin/emacs.dist and move /usr/local/bin/emacs into /usr/bin; (b) save /usr/bin/emacs as in a, and make a link from /usr/local/bin/emacs to /usr/bin/emacs; or (c) Get the Emacs sources, and edit the line in EtermView.m that forks the emacs shell to start up /usr/local/bin/emacs instead of /usr/bin/emacs. Of these, (a) is in some sense the most conservative, since you don't even have to put /usr/local/bin on your PATH if you don't have to have anything else there (move etags, ctags, and emacsclient in the same way). (b) is what I did - so long ago I'd forgotten about it. --Steve Anderson
