Is it possible to start emacs w/o a split frame ?

Is it possible to start emacs w/o a split frame ?

[jonetsu]

Hello,

Subject line says it all.  emacs starts with its frame split
horizontally in two as on the top is the file being opened while the
bottom part being about Gnu.  Is it possible to start emacs with just
one frame, the file to edit ?

  (setq inhibit-splash-screen t)

in your init file (~/.emacs.d/init.el or wherever it lives). You can
find out where yours is by querying the variable "user-init-file",
e.g. C-h v user-init-file

C-h v inhibit-splash-screen RET

Of course you can make Emacs start in any way
you want!

*In general*, do it like this:

1) Start Emacs the regular way

2) Set Emacs up the way you want, and remember
   the commands. Then put those commands in
   your init files, as Elisp code.

*Specifically*, find out what options to set.

Those two methods can be combined to do exactly
what you want.

For example, I have:

;; no fanfare / init
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal")
(setq byte-compile-verbose nil)

;; scratch buffer
(setq initial-scratch-message nil)
(kill-buffer "*scratch*")

;; starting point
(call-interactively #'w3m)
(cd "~/")

N.B. Change "incal", of course.
