Would someone like to implement that? Done. The splash screen is turned off on ttys, as well as after starting Emacs with command line options "-f", "-funcall", "-e", "-eval", "-execute", "-insert", "-find-file", "-file", "-visit", because beginners don't start Emacs with these arguments. So now Emacs displays the startup screen only when started with a file name like "emacs FILE..." on a window system. You went a little too far. Starting Emacs on a tty with no arguments SHOULD show the startup screen. Would someone please fix that, then ack? This required to change the echo area startup message from For information about the GNU system and GNU/Linux, type C-h C-p. to For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a. Please change that back.
