I have been looking for a way for custom to leave my .emacs alone for a long time :), currently, i use kludges like alias ed 'emacs -q -l .emacs.editor' <-- but "-q" leads to other problems.. > I think that this should be the *default* behaviour of customise, and > that it should never touch the user's .emacs. I second that :) .. custom should save changes in some other file, and simply advise the user to (load) that file in the .emacs. .emacs is the default file loaded by emacs, and there's no good way to change that, except the (other problems) -q option... therefore, imho, custom should not touch .emacs ..
