When Aquamacs opens up it opens *scratch* in first tab and my file in the second tab. Also, when I include (kill-buffer "*scratch*") in Preference.el it opens *Message* in a separate frame (window) and <font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><b>does not</b></span></font> open scratch in a tab. Moreover, if I start up Aquamacs by double clicking the icon then it opens a *scratch* frame. Then if I go on to open a file through File>open file... it would open up in tab 2 and the scratch is still there in tab 1.</div><div>Hope I included all details.</div><div>Appreciate your help very much</div><div>\Harsha</div><div><br><div><div>On May 18, 2010, at 3:08 PM, David Reitter wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>On May 18, 2010, at 2:56 PM, Harsha Attanayake wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">You are absolutely correct on importing settings from 1.9. However, stupid me did a complete removal of 1.9 and installed 2.0 since I could not figure out a way to get rid of the scratch. I already tried (kill-buffer "*scratch*"), sure it kills the scratch but opens up *Message* frame. I never use the scratch buffer since I open up files from terminal and work on it. My notes go in as comments in the same file. So the scratch is just annoying. Would be nice if I can stop it, else I should try to make use of it, I guess.<br></blockquote><br>OK, there's a missing piece of information. You open up Aquamacs from the terminal (with what command?), and you get a *scratch* buffer in an extra frame, or as a tab in the same frame? Please be precise and complete, and I'll try to help you. <br><br><br>--<br><a href="http://aquamacs.org">http://aquamacs.org</a> -- Aquamacs: Emacs on Mac OS X<br><a href="http://aquamacs.org/donate">http://aquamacs.org/donate</a> -- Could we help you?
