When I start emacs with more than one file specified on the command
line, the emacs display is split horizontally with a buffer-list
displayed in the top window and the first file in the bottom window.
How can I change this behaviour, in general? Could I perhaps have a
vertical split or not display a buffer list?
Thanks!

The list wasn't very forthcoming, but #emacs was more forthcoming, so I
thought I'd share what I learned here where web-searches might find it.
First, to stop emacs from opening a buffer-list on startup, just set
this variable
inhibit-startup-buffer-menu
to t in .emacs
Second, although I haven't managed to stop the window from being split,
it's possible to delete the extra window by adding this to .emacs:
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'delete-other-windows)
Another little gem is how to get the buffer-list (C-x C-b) and other
special buffers to appear in the current-window, rather than the
other-window. This is achieved by adding this to .emacs
(nconc same-window-buffer-names '("*Buffer List*" "*Help*"))

Finding this little gem has been on my todo list for a long time, thank
you, Andrew.
