linux to an imac: 2003/01: linux toddlers::launch emacs from the CLI

Ask a student who 'Tux' is, and he or she will point to the large
penguin painted on the front wall of the computer lab and say, "He's the
Linux penguin!"

Hexley's cute too.

I keep forgetting how to do this after recompiling emacs (which has been necessary after many of Apple's software updates):

Replace the binary `/usr/local/bin/emacs' (or wherever you installed
it) with a file containing the following two lines (of course you need
to change the pathname according to where you have put the Emacs.app
application bundle).

#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@"

That's from the emacs 21 for OS X FAQ.
