I set up an "emacstool" in suntools by making a setup line that
executes
	csh -c emacs-disable-suspend-emacs
and having a line in .cshrc
	alias emacs-disable-suspend-emacs 'emacs -f disable-suspend-emacs'
and having a function in .emacs
	(defun disable-suspend-emacs () (disable-command 'suspend-emacs))

The setup line makes a window that pops up and automatically runs a
shell which runs emacs.  All the rest of the stuff is to automatically
disable the suspend-emacs (C-z) command, since suspending emacs leaves
nobody listening to input from that window.  (The csh is waiting for
emacs to finish.)  Typing C-x C-c causes emacs to exit, causing csh to
exit, causing suntools to destroy the window.
