@vindex initial-scratch-message
At startup, the @samp{*scratch*} buffer contains a short message, in
the form of a Lisp comment, that explains what it is for. This
message is controlled by the variable @code{initial-scratch-message},
which should be either a string or @code{nil}. If you set it to the
empty string, or @code{nil}, the initial message is suppressed.
@findex lisp-interaction-mode
All other commands in Lisp Interaction mode are the same as in Emacs
Lisp mode. You can enable Lisp Interaction mode by typing @kbd{M-x

You can also force Emacs to display a file or directory at startup
by setting the variable @code{initial-buffer-choice} to a
non-@code{nil} value. (In that case, even if you specify one or more
files on the command line, Emacs opens but does not display them.)
The value of @code{initial-buffer-choice} can be either the name of
the desired file or directory, or @code{t}, which means to display the
@samp{*scratch*} buffer.
