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? ;)
