That gets rid of the confusion that the user might have set it by hand in his init file, which was by far the worst of the two possible confusions. So it is a big improvement over your previous suggestion. It might still confuse people who set custom-file. (I have the impression that this concerns much more people than you believe.) I still do not understand why one would want to explain the mechanics of how Custom saves values _in the State message_. You do not have enough place there to do it accurately and it has nothing to do with which state the option is in. Sincerely, Luc.
