<div>                       (tabbar-current-tabset)))</div><div>      (setq right-window (split-window-horizontally 80)) ; make the right window.</div><div>      (select-window right-window)</div><div>      ;; whatever buffer we started in, make it appear in the right side.</div>
<div>      (switch-to-buffer initial-buffer)</div><div>      (select-window agenda-window) ; go back to the agenda.</div><div>      )</div><div><br></div><div>The call to org-agenda is just a custom block view.</div><div>
I end up with the agenda on the left, and some initial, other buffer on the right.  No scratch or anything else visible.</div><div>Seems to work for me.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers.</div><div>Fil</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

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<div>

<br></div><div>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 <a href="http://refile.org" target="_blank">refile.org</a> (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&#39;s.</div>

&gt; Okay, so I have been working on some ideas for a customization file for startup, an org-agenda,<br>
&gt; recently modified and maybe unscheduled todo&#39;s . . accessible via a function key and at startup. <br>
&gt; Kind of a &quot;home screen&quot;.   I have it working fine when I run the code but my problem is that when I<br>
&gt; have it run in .emacs on startup it comes up (agenda on the right and my other chosen buffer on the<br>
&gt; left (last code in my .emacs to be run) and then the screen is split horizontal and the scratch<br>
&gt; buffer opens on the top.  For me this isn&#39;t the desired behavior, didn&#39;t know if anyone knew how to<br>
&gt; turn off emacs opening into a file or if I should move this code to another location because emacs<br>
&gt; is running something to open that after it goes through .emacs???  or is that just a behavior that<br>
&gt; is going to occur?<br>
&gt;  <br>
<br>
</div>Add<br>
<br>
  (setq inhibit-splash-screen t)<br>
<br>
to your .emacs and see if that solves your problem. You might also need one<br>
of the packages that can restore a saved window configuration on startup<br>
if you have complicated goings-on.<br>
