[OS X Emacs] New command line tool: emacs

Tue Jun 21 14:47:13 EDT 2016

Mac OS 10.11.5. My path includes/usr/bin. I can easily run /usr/bin/emacs
and get Emacs version 22 in a Terminal window. The beginning of this thread
described the issue: having a way to get a more recent version of Emacs
than 22, in a Terminal window.
