alias ets="emacs --debug-init --no-init-file --no-splash --background-color white --foreground-color black --vertical-scroll-bars --eval '(switch-to-buffer \"*Messages*\")' --name TEST --title TEST --load ~/src/help/.emacs.el &"

(message (emacs-version))
(message "org-babel-default-header-args")
(princ org-babel-default-header-args)
