where options may be:

-v		all the following files are in view mode (read only)
-e		all the following files can be edited
-g<n>		go directly to line <n> of the first file
-s<string>	go to the end of the first occurance of <string>
		in the first file

<sfile>	execute macro file <sfile> instead of the
		standard startup file

and <filelist> is a list of files to be edited.

for example:

	emacs start1.cmd -g56 test.c -v head.h def.h

yes, stuff them into the emacs.rc file, take a look at the sample one i
included in the posting of 3.6
