It's only some because I've not spent the time wading into the
plethora of stuff Emacs is capable of. I couldn't make use of the
information in the NEWS file (I don't even use the menus at the top).
All those references to lisp code assume knowledge I don't have and
don't help if I don't know where to use them. My .emacs file doesn't
have any define-key statements, so I was reluctant to tinker with
structures I don't understand. Most ideas I find to do things I'm
interested in seem to work in rather different ways, so I haven't
figured out a method in the madness yet. Evidently, the NEWS file is
not referring to stuff for .Xdefaults which might have been a good
place to do something to achieve my aim.
However, adding the line
(tool-bar-mode nil)
to my .emacs file is very simple and works fine for my purposes.
Thanks to Christopher J. White.

You are mistaken: it's not on the splash screen.
