Its not unfortunate, but it is not the way to get the most from Emacs. If you are going to stop and start Emacs regularly, then you are probably best served by some other quick hit type environment. A large part of the power of Emacs is that it remembers where you have been and what you have chosen and what you have looked at ... If you continue to shut it down, its memory is very minimal and therefore Emac might seem minimal. If you leave it open, then Emacs can continue to add to its "memory". -- Galen deForest Boyer Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
