[OS X Emacs] Turn off *scratch* buffer when Aquamacs starts

David,
Sorry about that. The command I type in terminal:
	aqua filename &
I have an alias in my home directory in file .cshrc as
	alias aqua 'open /Applications/Aquamacs.app/'
and works fine. 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 does not 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.
Hope I included all details.
Appreciate your help very much
\Harsha
