+;; For csh users, insert the following alias in your .cshrc file
+;; (after removing the leading double semicolons):
+;;
+;;# The following line could be just EMACS=emacs, but this depends on
+;;# your site.
+;;set EMACS=emacs
+;;set EMACS_PATTERN="^\[[0-9]\]  . Stopped ............ $EMACS"
+;;alias emacs \
+;;' \\
+;;   jobs >! /tmp/jobs$$ \\
+;;   && grep "$EMACS_PATTERN" /tmp/jobs$$ >& /dev/null \\
+;;   && echo `pwd` \!* >! ~/.emacs_args && eval "%$EMACS" \\
+;;|| test -S ~/.emacs_server && emacsclient \!* \\
+;;|| test "$?DISPLAY" = 1 && eval "\$EMACS -i \!* &" \\
+;;|| test "$?WINDOW_PARENT" = 1 && eval "emacstool -f emacstool-init \!* &" \\
+;;|| eval "\$EMACS -nw \!*"'
+;;
+;; The alias works as follows:
+;; 1. If there is a suspended emacs jobs that is a child of the
+;; current shell, place its arguments in the ~/.emacs_args file and
+;; resume it.
+;; 2. Else if the ~/.emacs_server socket has been created, presume an
+;; emacs server is running and attempt to connect to it.  If no emacs
+;; server is listening on the socket, this will fail.
+;; 3. Else if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, presume we are
+;; running under X Windows and start a new X Gnu Emacs process in the
+;; background.
+;; 4. Else if the WINDOW_PARENT environment variable is set, presume we
+;; are running under Sunview and Suntools and start an emacstool
+;; process in the background.
+;; 5. Else start a regular emacs process.
+;;
+;; Notes:
+;; "test -S" checks if a unix domain socket by that name exists.
+;; The output of the "jobs" command is not piped directly into "grep"
+;; because that would run the "jobs" command in a subshell.
+;; Before resuming a suspended emacs, the current directory and all
+;; command line arguments are placed in a file.
+;; The command to run emacs is always preceded by a \ to prevent
+;; possible alias loops.
+;; The "-nw" switch in the last line is is undocumented, and it means
+;; no windowing system.
