works for me. maybe 'emacs' is aliased or otherwise overriden?
% whence -va emacs
add 'echo' before 'emacs' and see what it prints?
what if you directly run
% emacs ./hello.c -geometry "56x23"
does it load hello.c then?
I thought maybe emacs might not like the -geometry argument after the
filename, but it works for me.
Maybe a problem with your .emacs? Try adding '-q' to the emacs
invocation to test that hypotheses, however, then you'd see the same
problem running emacs directly above.
btw, you might consider:
em() { emacs -geometry "56x23" "$@" }
which lets you pass any number of files (including none)
