They should not expect Customize to teach them Lisp. But I am not suggesting that Customize teach Lisp. What I am saying is that *if* the person who is using Customize also knows some Lisp, then it makes sense that the person should be able to modify that code in his .emacs file, if he wants. And he should be able to look at the `custom-set-faces' or `custom-set-variables' expressions and figure out how to work with them. If he is not interested in Lisp, then he does not study or modify the code in his .emacs file. -- Robert J.
