23.0.60; scratch buffer initial text

[Drew Adams]

This is the current text:
 
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.
 
For newbies, it's not clear that you can "visit that file" for a file
that does not yet exist. Also, the last part about "file's own buffer"
is not clear. And the emphasis should be on Lisp evaluation here and
the fact that this buffer is not saved.
 
How about something like this instead:
 
;; This buffer is a scratch pad for evaluating Lisp expressions or
;; jotting down text that you don't want to save.
 
;; If you want a note pad for text that you might want to save, use
;; `C-x C-f' to open a new file buffer.  Enter the text there and save
;; it using `C-x C-s'.
