   That would be very misleading.  There are two ways a user can set an
   option permanently:  through Custom and by writing code in his init
   file.  

Your statement is confusing.  Custom automatically writes code that is
saved in an init file.  It is a code generating tool that saves in a
particular place.

   You have set this %c and saved it in your init file.

This wording is correct.  In this case, you did not write the code
yourself, but had a library do it.  You set %c and saved it in your
init file.

Richard's suggestion for saving some characters makes sense.  His
wording is both accurate and good.
