Maybe it’s not possible, but either way, thinking it should be documented how it would be possible to start emacs without showing the startup screen.  There was one reference to using –quick, but that also seemed to bypass customizations.  There was not other reference to the startup screen.  I’m referring to documentation at:  http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html

 

Thanks, --josh
