   You can also force Emacs to display a file or directory at startup
 by setting the variable @code{initial-buffer-choice} to a string
 naming that file or directory.  The value of
-@code{initial-buffer-choice} may also be a function which should
-return a buffer which is then displayed.  @code{initial-buffer-choice}
-may also be @code{t} in which case the @file{*scratch*} buffer will be
-shown.  In any case, even if you specify one or more files on the
-command line, Emacs opens but does not display them if
-@code{initial-buffer-choice} is non-nil.
+@code{initial-buffer-choice} may also be a function (of no arguments)

+@c I do not think this should be mentioned.  AFAICS it is just a dodge
+@c around inhibit-startup-screen not being settable on a site-wide basis.

+If @code{initial-buffer-choice} is non-@code{nil}, then if you specify
+any files on the command line, Emacs still visits them, but does not
+display them initially.
