Re: Emacs help from terminal

[Samuel Banya]

I'm not sure how to detach from an Emacs instance that's currently running.

I think if you're trying to quit from it to come back to it later, you would 
probably need to be running Emacs server daemon client, or use a terminal 
multiplexer like 'tmux' to detach from it.

Just some ideas.

Sincerely,

Sam
