Emacs version: 18.52, HPUX, on HP9000-350.

Problem: when starting emacs, command-line arguments get processed, but are
not popped off, and then treated as file names.

For example, starting emacs as

	% emacs -font 6x10 -w =80x60-0-0 -display filet:0 &

works fine, with all the arguments processed, but 6 buffers, with names
"-font", "6x10", "-w", "=80x60-0-0", "-display", and "filet:0" get cre-
ated.  Also, if -display machine:0 is the FIRST argument, it gets popped
off the list.

Also, emacs seems to ignore some of the resource values, such as border
color, mouse color, and cursor color.

Any and all help on this subject is appreciated.

								Leo.
