First to other posters... thanks for some pretty inventive ideas

(Leaving one of those here for any searched on this group)
That last one:
emacs filename --eval "(goto-char (point-max))"
That will be just the ticket for me since the place I needed it, was in
an ~/.xbindkeyrc script where it allows me to press a C+S+f on my
linux host keyboard to invoke emacs displaying a specific file that I
only ever want to edit or read at the end.
~/.xbindkeysrc syntax looks like this
"emacsclient -e '(set-background-color "darkslategray")' -e
'(set-foreground-color "cornsilk2")' -e '(set-cursor-color "magenta")' -e
'(set-default-font
"-dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1")' -s prg -c -e
'(find-file "/pub/PERSONAL/.0finAct")' -e '(goto-char (point-max))'"
control+shift + f
And works just dandy.
PS - I wish I liked those gwene groups better, I'd probably like that
emacs group, but unless they've improved quite a lot since a couple
yrs ago... the ones I tried seemed really confusing... not nice and
orderly like the rest of gmane or the regular nntp use-net.
