Sep 18, 2016 at 13:20 comment added Stefan @JakenHerman: The versionof Emacs shouldn't depend on your computer's age but on your OS's age. Emacs-23 was released in 2009, so if you have upgraded your OS since then, you have reasons to complain. AFAIK the latest OSX still uses Emacs-22.
Sep 16, 2016 at 16:32 comment added lawlist Maybe John W. (who uses OSX) or Eli Z. could send Tim Cook a feature request for future versions of OSX. Occasionally, Tim Cook even responds personally to his emails. I used to send Steve Jobs a Christmas wish-list each year, but did not renew the practice with Tim Cook.

Sep 16, 2016 at 14:39 comment added lawlist Please update to at least Emacs version 24.5: emacsformacosx.com The path to the executable is/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs if you place the Emacs.app in the /Applications folder. Then adjust your alias so you can easily call it from the terminal. Or, just use the GUI version of Emacs by launching it regularly. It usually makes no sense to spin wheels trying to get something outdated to work, when there have been major improvements that are easily obtained. And, remember that OSX comes with an old version of Emacs in /usr/bin -- so don't use that.
