Wouldn't it be > possible to achieve the same behavior from "emacs.exe"? IIRC, it would be possible, but then you would see the console being opened and then hidden, which is ugly. You could work around it by setting a shortcut to start Emacs hidden, but that doesn't help when you run emacs.exe directly from the Start menu, for example. The whole runemacs/emacs dance is here to avoid that initial "open console / hide console" ugliness. J
