Most often, I just customize a specific variable or face, so for me there really isn't any conceptual difference between a per-variable and whole-buffer action. So I use the "whole-buffer" action buttons at the top of the customize buffer. And, when I actually do customize a group of variables, I usually want to set/save all the variables that I changed, so again I use the "whole-buffer" buttons. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
