For X11 enabled versions of Emacs, there are two ways that you can tell
Emacs not to fuss with creating an X window, if you want to run it in a
terminal:

$ DISPLAY="" emacs filename(s)
$ emacs -nw filename(s)

The first one just takes away its knowledge of the X server, the second
one says to not create an X window even if it is capable of doing so.
