My Emacs startup screen presents two windows: a classic scratch buffer, and the list of today's appointments from .diary.
This fits my needs well. I'm not sure it is worth trying to set up a complicated startup buffer. Depends on your need, of course, but you'll found out that it's always too rigid: it assumes your buffer can tell you what you want, instead of *you* telling him what to do. That's the same problem than selecting the "right" homepage for your browser. Finally nearly everyone end up using a search engine webpage, which is redundant anyway, as browsers now have a websearch field. The trick is to find out what you want to browse *before* opening your browser, then open it for that. Or to find out what you want to do with Emacs and open it for that. Don't let predefined affordances drive your mind, let your mind drive your Emacs :) -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
