Standalone Operation

If you are not in Emacs at the moment but you wish to use Calc, you must start Emacs first. If all you want is to run Calc, you can give the commands:

emacs -f full-calc

or

emacs -f full-calc-keypad

which run a full-screen Calculator (as if by C-x * b C-x * c) or a full-screen X-based Calculator (as if by C-x * b C-x * k). In standalone operation, quitting the Calculator (by pressing q or clicking on the keypad EXIT button) quits Emacs itself.
