@cindex startup screen
When Emacs starts up, the initial frame displays a special buffer
-named @samp{*GNU Emacs*}. This buffer contains @dfn{links} to common
-tasks that might be useful to beginning users. For instance,

+ If the value of the variable @code{inhibit-startup-screen} is
address@hidden, Emacs does not display the startup screen. In that
