Emacs 19.26, though I've experienced this with every version of Emacs
I've used.

I keep being bitten by the fact that 

	emacs -nw -q

is not the same as

	emacs -q -nw

I can never remember which one does what I want (start emacs without
X, and without reading .emacs).

I think -nw and -q should work in either order.  There might be
problems with other options, too, but I don't know.
