I have (setq inhibit-startup-message t) so I start up with the *scratch* buffer which I hardly ever use. A thought crossed my mind to use this buffer as a output for some user generated start up messages, such as org-mode's TODO list or content of refile buffer, ... So when Emacs starts, it presents a scratch buffer with my current TODO list. All other properties of the buffer keep the same (like it's not being saved). Since I consider myself still novice with Emacs I'm unsure how to program that into my .emacs and if there problems with this to be expected.... Thanks for any thoughts! Florian
