hi. the problem is:
I want to use emacs as a user interface for octave. I want to make a
unix alias
that opens emacs with 3 splitted zones, one of them includes the
octave-mode terminal, one in a revert mode reading the octave history
file, and one with the actual source file I want to open. I also want
to be able to specify exactly the split order and the buffers that
open in each zone. can this be achieved?

Yes.

An easy way to do what you want is to:

- write a small elisp file containing a function that can do what you want.
- Then you write a temporary file (for example with echo) that calls
this elisp function with the parameters you want.
- From the command line when you start emacs you load both these file.
