I assume you mean "set emboss_output gcg" in either "~/.embossrc" or
"emboss.default".  That changes all the programs in emboss and not just one.
I don't think there is program specific version of this (correct me if i'm
wrong though).

Anyone that can code might try to include setting like "set
emboss_[program_name]_output gcg" in some future version?
