@ -1875,6 +1875,16 @@ Emacs Lisp expressions. Type @kbd{M-x ielm} to create an
@file{*ielm*} buffer which uses this mode. For more information, see
that command's documentation.
@cindex persistent *scratch* buffer
By default, the @file{*scratch*} buffer is not associated with any
file. Therefore, any text in the buffer is lost when you quit Emacs.
If you prefer, you can use Remember mode's notes buffer feature to make
Emacs save and reload the contents of @file{*scratch*}. Customize the
variable @code{initial-buffer-choice} to the symbol
@code{remember-notes} and the variable @code{remember-notes-buffer-name}
to the string @code{"*scratch*"} to achieve this. See also @xref{Quick
Start,,, remember, the Remember mode manual}.
