I suggest to rearrange it slightly to make the structure more logical and useful, by placing frequently used items at the top and "one-time" customizations later. For example: OPTIONS ====================================== Customize Emacs > -------------------------------------- Language Environment (Mule) > Set Font/fontset -------------------------------------- Show/Hide > [] Blinking Cursor [] Syntax Highlighting [] Paren Match Highlighting [] Active Region Highlighting -------------------------------------- [] Truncate Long Lines in this Buffer [] Word Wrap in Text Modes [] Case-insensitive Search [] C-x/C-c/C-v cut-and-paste (CUA) -------------------------------------- [] Use Directory Names in Buffer Names [] Save Places in Files between Sessions [] Automatic File De/compression -------------------------------------- [] Enter Debugger on Error [] Enter Debugger on Quit/C-g -------------------------------------- Save Options ====================================== Personally, I would also like to rename "Show/Hide" to "Appearence" and move "Blinking Cursor" under that heading, but that's less important. -- Kim F.
