How to make Emacs to be started by emacs in the same window as command line? I can do it by typing emacs -nw, but can I put a line into .emacs so that it would work automatically?
The short answer is “no”.
By the time your .emacs is read, the choice whether to use a graphical or non-graphical display has been made.
Perhaps a shell alias would better suit your needs
You can verify this by adding
at the top of your .emacs and run both graphical and non-graphical variants of Emacs, either way you get prompted after the Emacs has come up (graphically or non-graphically).
