You're using csh, right?  Just say:
	% fg

I'm not familiar with this, but it sounds like exit-emacs creates a
subshell.  To get out of a subshell, Ctrl-D will suffice.  To make
sure you don't log yourself out when you test this, set ignoreeof
(with both 'e's) as soon as you log in to test this, then go into
emacs, test this, and exit-emacs.  A Ctrl-D should bring you back
into Emacs.  If it doesn't, but says "Use logout to logout", then
I'm wrong.  Incidentally, unless you unset ignoreeof, you then  w i l l
have to use logout to log out.

Try asking in the emacs newsgroup, net.emacs.
