Yeah, that would be the best way to do it.

In fact, I'm considering whether it wouldn't make more sense to just let the
main function `ebib' take an optional argument. It would function much the same
way as `ebib-start-on-entry', except that if you call `ebib' without any
argument, it just starts Ebib the way it does now. (So it wouldn't ask you on
which entry you want to start. It would still be possible to get that
functionality by calling `ebib' with a prefix argument.) I'm guessing you're not
going to use `ebib-start-on-entry' interactively, are you? In that case, I think
I should just include the functionality in the function `ebib' itself, rather
than have a special function for it.

Yeah, that would be great. :-)

Best,
