Removing split window on start up

[Dimech, Chris]

using

emacs file

I get the screen split in two, top windor has listing of file, the bottom one 
has
details about emacs.

When doing just emacs, I would like to have the startup screen, splash screen 
...
but want only to display my file when using emacs file, ow when I open a file
using the right hand mouse buttom and opening it in emacs.

How can I remove the split screen when I liad a file from the .emacs file

I want to keep the startup splash screen but not split the screen with both my 
file
and the splash screen, unless a file is not selected
