Subject: default startup mode

Message-ID: <87pssubq82.fsf@wash.edu> (raw)


Hello

I have this line in my .emacs

(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)	;new buffers are text mode

when I start emacs, it opens up a scratch buffer in (Lisp Interaction) 
in the mode line. shouldn't that be text mode since the line above is
in the .emacs.
if not, how do I get emacs to start up with text mode as default? or 
should I?


thanks
