Keep emacs in Terminal with -nw #13

Is there a way to have emacs open with -nw flag automatically when when typing 'emacs' only?

I've looked in the source code and I don't think there is. On Windows, inhibit_window_system is only set false if the -nw option is used. This differs from the case in X11 where you can also make it happen by not setting the DISPLAY environment variable.

This is entirely possible. We just need to hide the orignal emacs.exe somewhere not on the PATH, and have chocolatey create a shim using Install-BinFile targeting the original emacs.exe. Install-BinFile takes the -Command [<String>] argument, which allow you to embed the -nw argument into the shim, so that it's passed to the original emacs.exe each time it's called.
