Don't do this. Instead, start emacs. Run M-x server-start. Now to edit a file, just say "emacsclient -t filename". You are instantly connected to your running emacs session, in the terminal you are currently working in. You can have an arbitrary number of these. C-x C-c closes the instance you are working in, not every instance. I just run "emacs --daemon" when I log in, "emacsclient -c" to get my main emacs X frame,…

Or "vim". "vi" is the editor wars' straw man. Never heard of mg.

I am using the TRAMP support instead from my desktop Emacs which runs all the time. TRAMP support within Emacs is very good, aside of the dired support all the vc commands work on the remote machines, too.

I use emacs for long haul editing, but vi for quick edits and sysadmin work.

That's just silly. mg is much nicer. http://packages.debian.org/sid/mg

How it it better than jove? (Just curious).

When people say vi, they mean vim.

Unless they actually mean vi. Not all vi implementations are Vim, especially those on Unices.

mg is a smaller, only slightly configurable editor that behaves like Emacs's defaults.
