The man page for
emacs doesn't mention that the +n option (to start up at a certain line of a
file) apparently only applies to the very next file listed.
For example, if I
say
emacs
+10 foo bar
the cursor shows up
in bar, at line 1 not 10. But if I say
emacs
+10 foo +10 bar
then the
cursor does show up at line 10 of file bar. Seems like the right behavior, but
it seems to me the man page should mention this under +n.
This is emacs
21.2.4, btw.
Thanks!
