No, that still gives me the scratch buffer over the top and the the two windows I want down below. When I had the startup page activated it would override one of the two buffers that I had selected but for some reason the scratch buffer is dividing the screen horizontally and place itself over the top of the two buffers I open at the end of .emacs Going to have to look at some of the emacs documentation. What I am trying to create is a bit of elisp magic that will open the agenda on the right buffer and my refile.org (with everything I have captured that needs sent to a home and some dblocks with recently opened items and maybe another one with my unscheduled todo's.
