> I think my patch makes sense with respect to managing this variable. If calc-inhibit-startup-message is set, we avoid setting this flag, since Calc hasn’t “said hello” yet. If the user then clears calc-inhibit-startup-message, the next invocation of M-x calc will be the first time the welcome message appears, so presumably we want it to stay there until the user does something and give them time to read it.
