[OS X Emacs] scratch and scratch <2>

[Ivan Werning]

Thanks.

I understand that getting completely rid of the scratch may be a  
sensitive issue.

But certainly I am having troubles beyond that! I am getting a scratch  
buffer with a frame along with a scratch <2> buffer with it's own  
frame or as a tab along with other previously opened documents. Either  
way, when I open Aquamacs I get two frames. This happens regardless of  
whether I kill them before exiting, do Windows>Merge all Frames, etc.

So I think this is misbehaviour. Has anyone experienced this? Any  
ideas for getting back to just the regular one scratch buffer state?
