,----[ (info "(emacs)Entering Emacs") ]
| If the variable `inhibit-startup-screen' is non-`nil', Emacs does
| not display the startup screen. In that case, if one or more files
| were specified on the command line, Emacs simply displays those files;
| otherwise, it displays a buffer named `*scratch*', which can be used to
| evaluate Emacs Lisp expressions interactively. *Note Lisp
| Interaction::. You can set the variable `inhibit-startup-screen' using
| the Customize facility (*note Easy Customization::), or by editing your
| initialization file (*note Init File::).(1)
|
| You can also force Emacs to display a file or directory at startup
| by setting the variable `initial-buffer-choice' to a non-`nil' value.
| (In that case, even if you specify one or more files on the command
| line, Emacs opens but does not display them.) The value of
| `initial-buffer-choice' should be the name of the desired file or
| directory.

Bye,
