Hi, I have emacs 21(x11) installed on my kde desktop. I was wondering if could run emacs in the konsole window without the Gui. Thanks in advance.

Use the -nw switch.It has to be the first option specified in the command line, eg: $ emacs -nw myfile.txt

Thank you. I am used working from the command prompt. I could not deal with the distracting and ugly emacs gui. Could you tell me the meaning of the switches.

It's just the one switch -nw and not -n -w....I'm guessing it means something like Non-Windows?!?
You can add a alias emacs='emacs -nw' to your profile so you don't have to type it in every time.
