I just read in the Scheme developer manual, and tested it on my TeXmacs 
installation, that in order to automatically select a given style when 
starting a new document one can place this in the buffer initialization 
file my-init-buffer.scm (written for the article style):

(if (not (buffer-has-name? (current-buffer)))
     (begin (init-style "article")
            (buffer-pretend-saved (current-buffer))))

Combined with your answer, I think this is what non-null@use wants.

@non-null: if you need more details on how to put things together please 
write.

Great, you solved my problem and with a very neat technique that keeps the style details changeable from TeXmacs afterward with no Scheme programming. Thank you.
