Hi,

when starting emacs with multiple (file-)arguments, it starts with two
windows (in one frame), buffering the last two files.

Is it possible to configure emacs so that it opens one window only?

Additional question:

Is it possible to configure emacs so that it switches to the buffer of
the first file on startup, not the last one? (ideally reversing the
initial buffer list)

Regards
Ingo

you can put this line:

(delete-other-windows)

as the last line in your “.emacs”. That should make it just one
“frame” (aka emacs's “window”).

If you want the first file, one hack could be:

(other-window) (delete-other-windows)

as the last line.

(should work but i haven't tested the code)

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't change anything for me (GNU Emacs
22.2.1, Debian unstable).
