Okay, so I have been working on some ideas for a customization file for
startup, an org-agenda, recently modified and maybe unscheduled todo's . .
accessible via a function key and at startup.  Kind of a "home screen".   I
have it working fine when I run the code but my problem is that when I have
it run in .emacs on startup it comes up (agenda on the right and my other
chosen buffer on the left (last code in my .emacs to be run) and then the
screen is split horizontal and the scratch buffer opens on the top.  For me
this isn't the desired behavior, didn't know if anyone knew how to turn off
emacs opening into a file or if I should move this code to another location
because emacs is running something to open that after it goes through
.emacs???  or is that just a behavior that is going to occur?
