The Message buffer tells me: forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 996, 7860 The error is caused by the modify-syntax-entry - line in .gnu-emacs-custom: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 ;; several comments here ... =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0(modify-syntax-entry ?" "w") No error happens at startup time, emacs loads and (at least seems to ...)=20 accept the command, however, the customization - save function does not. Googling around I found a potential hint in cobol-mode.el: =A0 =A0 (modify-syntax-entry ?\" "." st) =A0; wiki \" bug workaround comment but this made nothing really clearer to me .... should I modify ?" into ? \" ??? User error or issue with the customization function? Could some gentle soul shine some light on this? Thank you very much for looking into this, take care Dieter Jurzitza =2D-=20 =2D---------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <=B0=B0__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) =2D----------------------------------------------------------
