If it is =E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99, the =E2=80=98*scratc= h*=E2=80=99 buffer is empty. By default, the value of the `initial-scratch-message' variable is ";; This buffer is for text that is not saved, and for Lisp evaluation.\n;; To create a file, visit it with \\[find-file] and enter text in its buffer.\n\n" as seen when you do C-h v initial-scratch-message So set that variable to nil in your config or using Customize. --=20 Kaushal Modi
