Yes, there are hooks: `emacs-startup-hook' - but isn't this something that should rather go into `find-file-hook' or perhaps `before-save-hook'? Because if you use the Emacs startup hook, won't you get the same situation whenever you `find-file' or the like from Emacs, i.e., whenever you don't open files by means of arguments to the emacs shell command? Anyway, for example, I have (untab-all delete-trailing-whitespace) as `before-save-hook'. You could put a call there to the function that removes those chars. Hooks are a often an efficient-but-still poor-man's solution. If you can do something without using them, that is often better. In this case I can't tell. But if there isn't an obvious better way to do it, sure, use hooks. -- underground experts united
