Hello Jochen ,
<blockquote TYPE=CITE>I am an Emacs newbie. I would simply like to change
the background
<br>color. What do I have to put in .gnu-emacs-custom?
<br>&nbsp;</blockquote>
Add a line called
<p><b><font color="#660000">(set-background-color white)</font></b>
<p>in the <b>.emacs</b> file.
<p>Get back if there are any problems.
<p>Warm Regards,
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
