I got no replies yet and I think I should fill in some misses pieces I noticed after posting this. The doc string for custom-file says "If you specify some other file, you need to explicitly load that file for the settings to take effect". Info however says "Emacs loads the file right after your `.emacs' if you did not load it already". One of these must be wrong. I see another problem here too of course, with the double documentation. - Lennart PS: And I hope that I this time sends the reply to the list instead of myself ;-)
