But you "shouldn't" care much about the emacs command since you're "supposed to" just start emacs once per login and leave it running. If you just have one terminal, you exit temporarily with a control-z or two and resume with "fg". Or just run your shells inside emacs (use: M-x shell). Then (re)define a key to open your files as desired. If you want a quick-starting emacsy editor, try "jed" which does a good job of simulating a lot of emacs or e3 (the e3em link) which manages to do the basics and more in only 12868 bytes!
