Manifestation with this .emacs will be that the top of the *scratch* buffer is above the top of the screen and inaccessible. You may have to adjust the height from 60 to whatever will fully fill your screen, and you may need to uncomment the line that sets the top above. It will work with a different font but you then have to adjust the height yet again -- "menlo" and 60 rows does it for me. Technically, you don't need to inhibit the startup message, but the manifestation is then that part of the buffer is "differently" above the top of the screen and inaccessible. Also in an attached file. (tool-bar-mode -1) (setq inhibit-startup-message t) (if (eq window-system 'ns) (progn (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "menlo" :height 140) ; (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(top . 0)) ) ) (if window-system (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'height 60))) -- Perry E.
