I think it's much easier to remember www.gnu.org rather than www.gnu.org/software/emacs/. Once on www.gnu.org, it is easy to find emacs. Also, from a purely aesthetic point of view, www.gnu.org fits better. >> Any key but , , , "q", "x" will open >> the about-emacs page. > Shouldn't that be mentioned?

The default behavior is to fall back to the about-emacs page since we can suspect a more experienced user would disable this splash-screen anyway. There's also an idle timer (5 seconds) that open the about-emacs buffer. > Also, what happens when you invoke Emacs in the shell like > $ emacs myfile.c > how will the splash screen then behave? In such case, splash screen is not shown (modulor errors in my code). Nicolas
