Emacs shows the *Messages* buffer when there is an error in the .emacs file, so yes it is shown in a (that) buffer. I installed a patch to startup.el which aviod the window split that used to happen when showing the *Messages* buffer, as the split had the effect of scrolling the actual error out of view. -- Kim F.
