This is a little hack which improve the usability of GNU Emacs 18.58 for the
Amiga. Excerpts from the documentation:

** Introduction **

If you use Emacs on a regular basis, you may be fed up with waiting for
Emacs to get loaded. A quick way around this is to iconify Emacs when it is
not used, but then you have to un-iconify and load all new documents by
hand.  What I wanted was a "quick starter" for Emacs so that it could be
called from other applications as well (DOpus, Heddley, etc.), and here is
the result, available for all Emacs users.


** Result **

The resulting quick starter is an AREXX script, utilizing a small CLI
command. Now how do you use it? Read below:

Where you previously executed the script 'Emacs' you now have to execute the
AREXX script 'emacs_quickstarter.rexx'. This is done with the following
command:

"<rx-path>rx <e_qs-path>emacs_quickstarter.rexx <file to edit>"

Now, the Emacs Quick Starter (EQS) will see if you already have an Emacs
session running when it is called. If it finds a running Emacs in the
system, Emacs will be popped to front and the file you specified will be
loaded. If EQS did not find a running Emacs, an Emacs session will be
started with the file you specified.
If you choose not to specify a file, Emacs will either be popped to front
(if already loaded) or start an empty session.

to send me a postcard depicting something from your home city/country

etc. And not only Amiga specific stuff!). Call this postcardware (NOT
PCWare! :) if you like.
