I have a similar problem with command line arguments. I wanted to add
the command line option "-foo", but Emacs takes it to be a file name!
My (ugly) solution (in .emacs):
(setq term-setup-hook
(function (lambda ()
(if (get-buffer "-foo") (kill-buffer "-foo"))
(setq term-setup-hook '()))))
Another question: Why Emacs has the function "memq", but not "member" ?
(Scheme has both). When trying to search through command-line-args,
which is a list of strings, "memq" can not work since it is using "eq",
but "member" can. "member" is trivial:
(defun member (item item-list)
(if item-list
(if (equal item (car item-list)) t
(member item (cdr item-list)))))
