Re: New start up splash screen annoyance...

    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.
