Re: emacs -Q behavior doesn't match doc

[Luc Teirlinck]

   While trying to document a bug I ran Emacs using -Q.
   It was a nice surprise to see syntax highlighting and paren matching were on.
   I've always thought these should default to ON.

   But the doc specifically says 
   ...
        This is like using `-q' and `--no-site-file', but in addition it
        also disables the menu-bar, the tool-bar, the scroll-bars, tool
        tips, the blinking cursor, and the fancy startup screen.

Could you state precisely which exact docs are you referring to?

`emacs --help' gives:

--quick, -Q                 equivalent to -q --no-site-file --no-splash

and `(emacs)Initial Options' says:

`-Q'
`--quick'
     Start emacs with minimum customizations.  This is like using `-q'
     and `--no-site-file', but also disables the startup screen.

Since you are apparently using relatively recent CVS:

GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2005-11-11 on LD1

that is what you should see, unless there is a problem with the way
you updated.  But maybe you are referring to some other docs that we
might indeed have overlooked.

Sincerely,

Luc.
