I think we should change that menu item to * Saving Customizations:: How to save customizations in a different file. As it stands, there is a problem with this text. It suggests that if you are happy with Custom saving into .emacs, you can safely skip this node. But it contains the following paragraph, which is useful for everybody: If Emacs was invoked with the `-q' or `--no-init-file' options (*note Initial Options::), it will not let you save your customizations in your `~/.emacs' init file. This is because saving customizations from such a session would wipe out all the other customizations you might have on your init file. Sincerely, Luc.
