I'm probably being thick and missing something obvious, but dont you think that after finding a button named "State" their first response will be to click on it, in which case they will be presented with a popup menu of actions? There is at least one State button in every Customization buffer I think. Perhaps plural is better: The State buttons can be used to set or save option values. -- Peter Whaite
