Would you please > explain more clearly? Originally, I asked how to achieve a certain effect in defcustom. Now the plan is to do something entirely different, and a side effect of that plan is that the effect I originally asked about isn't needed anymore. The old plan was to allow the user to type filenames "/rsh:user@host:bla" and the system would know whether to invoke rsh or remsh. The new plan is to require the user to type "/rsh:user@host:bla" if rsh is to be invoked, and "/remsh:user@host:bla" if remsh is to be invoked. With the new plan, the file name corresponds to the Unix command being used, and I guess that people are familiar with those names. (Ideally, autodetection of the command to be used to contact the remote host would be desirable. But it takes a long time to try several methods for connecting. So users have to specify the command in the file name.) -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
