Well, yeah, but just putting Emacs in some mode and displaying some buffer shouldn't disturb that, should it? For example, I have this last in my .emacs: ;; no fanfare / init (setq inhibit-startup-screen t) (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal") ;; scratch buffer (require 'buc) (setq initial-scratch-message nil) (let ((scratch-buffer "*scratch*")) (when (member scratch-buffer (buffer-names)) (kill-buffer scratch-buffer) )) ;; starting point (call-interactively 'w3m) (cd "~/") -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
