title: How to open emacs gui/ide from mac terminal?
body: <p>I'm trying to open files up on emacs outside of the terminal.  I prefer a gui/ide environment when I code instead of doing it through a terminal.  I initially thought that typing <code>emacs filename.py</code> would open that file through Emacs.app, however it only allowed me to edit the file through the terminal.  When this didn't work, I looked into editing the .profile and .emacs files in my home directory but this was to no avail.  </p>
  
  <p>Maybe this is more intuitive than what I've read but I can't seem to figure it out.  Any help is appreciated.</p>
