Thanks.

I don't see anything awkward here. Using only one "provided that"
would produce an ambiguous sentence, so I used it twice.

The second "X" is not really a literal "X", it uses different
wording. I see no problem.

"Terminal" is used here in its Emacs sense, and you seem to think
about something slightly different.

The text clearly says "on the same terminal where _Emacs_ was
started". What is unclear about that?
