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. -- Robert J.
