That does not matter so long as the initialization file is called late. The call emacs -q -l ~/.emacs-simple fails because emacs/lisp/startup.el fails to process arguments on the command line when they provided. My ~/.emacs-simple invokes (setq initial-frame-alist '((font .

However, the commentary for lisp/startup.el says ;; This file parses the command line and gets Emacs running. That sentence implies a non-Emacs shell that provides a command line.) -- Robert J.
