;; The purpose of this library is to handle command line arguments
;; when you resume an existing Emacs job.
;; In order to use it, you must put this code in your .emacs file.
;; (add-hook 'suspend-hook 'resume-suspend-hook)
;; (add-hook 'suspend-resume-hook 'resume-process-args)
;; You can't get the benefit of this library by using the `emacs' command,
;; since that always starts a new Emacs job. Instead you must use a
;; command called `edit' which knows how to resume an existing Emacs job
;; if you have one, or start a new Emacs job if you don't have one.
;; To define the `edit' command, run the script etc/emacs.csh (if you use CSH),
;; or etc/emacs.bash if you use BASH. You would normally do this in your
;; login script.
