Initial Frame

Initial Frame

[Eddie Bush]

How can I do away with this?  I don't like the "splash-screen".  If 
you're not willing to tell me how to get rid of it, could you at least 
tell me what I am looking for?  This one has me completely thrown off ...

Thanks!

Eddie

hint: emacs calls the "splash-screen" "startup-message".

(setq inhibit-startup-message t) in your .emacs.

Perhaps - but I know how you guys are.  I'm not saying I blame you.  I 
think it's good that you try to force people to learn.  I _did_ try to 
find the answer myself - I just failed ... miserably. =/

Thanks to all that helped!

By the way - it seems the startup-message was the cause for the first 
buffer I went to after the message displayed to put point at the wrong 
spot.  I just _knew_ (in my gut) that thing was evil for more than one 
reason!

Thanks so much =)  I now feel I have (my) emacs "back"!

Sincerely,

Eddie

Hi,

  I always open file in a separate frame. The first file I opened always
popup two frames.
  One with my file in it and the other is just the *scratch*  buffer frame.

  Is there a way to avoid the *scratch buffer frame from popping up?
Thanks!

  My next question is what is the option at the "gnuclient" to open a file
and move
  the cursor to the end of the buffer?

  Many thanks in advance.

He Le,

 This did not work. The frame with the "*scratch*" buffer still up.
 And it did not more it to the end-of-the-buffer.

 I actually want a command line option type to move the cursor
 to the end of the buffer. Not for every opened file.

 Thanks!

emacs +$(grep -c '$' < FILE) FILE


will put point at the beginning of the last line.

Or add your own entry to command-switch-alist.

hi,

  How do you -eval with gnuclient? It does not seem to support the option.
  Thanks!
