Sorry, yes, you are right. custom-file is loaded after .emacs if not done
before in CVS Emacs but not in the current release version. I missed that.
Yes, but how does it work? As you pointed out in an earlier
posting, if you put all your customizations in CUSTOM-FILE, then
custom-file is customized in CUSTOM-FILE. How can Stefan's code,
referred to above, figure out the value of custom-file?
So either you have to put:
(load CUSTOM-FILE)
or
(setq custom-file CUSTOM-FILE)
in your .emacs. I do not immmediately see why the latter would be
easier or better.
Sincerely,
Luc.
