Re: New start up splash screen annoyance...

    Yes, this is exactly as it already works now: starting Emacs on a tty
    with no arguments shows the startup screen.

That is good.

                                                 I don't understand why this
    doesn't work for you.

I didn't try it myself, I just believed your message:

    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.

I tried it now, and it seems to be good.

I guess the echo area change is ok.  So you don't have to undo it.
