I've been trying to install PolyML in Emacs on my Mac in OSX but I can't get that or SML-mode to work. I've tried the builtin emacs, the gui version and the one from homebrew. Neither poly or sml works in any of them.
How can I start over with just the built-in Emacs with default settings without reinstalling the entire OS? I don't want anything from the other versions left.
Yes, you'll want to use emacsclient. To get a new frame, add the -c option. I have an alias to make it quicker and to tell emacsclient not to wait for emacs server to return:
alias em='emacsclient -n'
emacsclient -nwem alias.Update:
Check out this tip documenting how to use Platypus to create an app wrapper around emacsclient. You could then use "Open With..." to launch using your new app wrapper.
Actually, I found that ctrl-left arrow and ctrl-right arrow did nothing, even for other applications on my Mac.
Under Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts in System Settings, you'll have to deselect the Mission Control shortcuts, which appear to have been added through some OSX update.

I removed Emacs installed through homebrew simply by using
$ brew remove emacs. The GUI version was removed by simply dragging it to the trash.I then finally fixed PolyML by once again installing emacs through Homebrew with
$ brew install emacs —cocoaThen in
.bashrcI addedThis points the emacs command to the correct version. I downloaded PolyML again and it worked great both in the terminal and inside emacs.
