[ESS] Emacs on macOS 15.2 (Sequoia) installation issue

[Sparapani, Rodney]

Hi Steve:

Not really an ESS question, but I will bite�

In this case (as in many others), macOS is not comparable
to Linux or Windows.  The Emacs.app runs in the Quartz
environment.  Nevertheless, what you are trying to do with
the terminal is endorsed and supported.  See the file�
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs-nw
And the advice within that file�
�Use this file as a symlink target to easily create a terminal-only emacs�
ln -s /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs-nw /usr/local/bin/emacs

But, having said that, I think you will get more mileage
and enjoyment out of Emacs.app.  I rarely use the
terminal app unless I am logging into my machine
remotely.
