I imagine myself in the condition of giving a suggestion to a colleague for trying out Emacs. It's very easy to suggest like '-m'. IMO it is already considerably more complex to start explaining --eval... or the .emacs equivalent. And I'm thinking to a colleague, if I think to someone less computer skilled it's even worst. Yes I know may sounds strange I believe this is a first barrier. Andrea
