It just unsets it for the shell that is running and any processes that are
spawned.  You could also unset it in a subshell to make it even more
temporary.  Something like:

        (unset DISPLAY;emacs ...)

The 'emacs -nw' suggestion is way better.  I missed that looking in the man
page.  I was looking for -nox because there used to be a noxemacs command
which seems to have disappeared over the years.

HTH,
