Here's another couple different ways (not exactly what you wanted, but
here they are)...
- make sure you've started the emacs client server (server-start)
from your .emacs or from some scratch buffer. then do the
following csh-style: (setenv EDITOR emacsclient ; send-pr)
this will open up a send-pr buffer in your already running emacs
session.
- start an emacs using send-pr: (setenv EDITOR emacs ; send-pr)
How many other ways are there? ;)
