Re: Newbie: Emacs configuration on Debian

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you use bash as shell, add the following lines to your ~/.profile

XEDITOR='emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f'
export XEDITOR

If you use tcsh as a shell, add the following line to your .tcshrc

setenv XEDITOR 'emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f'

You can easily verify the value of an environment variable using
echo $XEDITOR
or
printenv XEDITOR

You probably want to take a look at some introductory text to UNIX/Linux.
