<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks for the respond. I have never really used Emacs. But have been using Aquamacs Emacs for couple of years. Up to Aquamacs Emacs version 1.9 I had this stopped popping-up. I mean, I turned off the scratch buffer some how and I don't remember how. With the new installation I must have replaced all my preferences and customization files, so now, it has gone back to its default. Which means the scratch buffer opens up automatically. My guess is there should be a way to turn this feature off in Aquamacs 2.0, just that I don't know it yet.<div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 18, 2010, at 11:48 AM, David Frascone wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 11:33 AM, Harsha Attanayake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ha298508@ohio.edu">ha298508@ohio.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div style="word-wrap:break-word">Turn off *scratch* buffer when Aquamacs starts<div>I installed Aquamacs 2.0 on my mac and I can’t get rid of the <font size="3"><span style="font-size:12px"><b>scratch</b></span></font> buffer.
