But Emacs always starts with a different position size and with the scrollbar on the left. That lasts for a fraction of a second, just long enough for me to see that it is some default configuration then flashes to the Xresources setup. It looks a little hacky; I can live with that. But. Shouldn't there be some way to setup Emacs so that it opens in the desired configuration cleanly and smoothly without first creating some default view? I am using a slightly older machine -- new 5 years ago -- with a P4 1.3 CPU and 640MB Ram. It is at the low end for today, but should be fast enough to draw Emacs instantly. Dare I change this ? Is there some default instructions in an earlier loading file (*.el) that I can remove? Or, change? As the subject line says, this not a big issue for me but it would be nice if it worked smoothly -- just cleaning up items on my to-do list. -- Regards Bill, Emacs 22.0.990.1 Fedora 7
