With Emacs from CVS, you could use `defvaralias' to accomplish this: ,----[ C-h f defvaralias RET ] | defvaralias is a built-in function in `C source code'. | (defvaralias NEW-ALIAS BASE-VARIABLE &optional DOCSTRING) | | Make NEW-ALIAS a variable alias for symbol BASE-VARIABLE. | Setting the value of NEW-ALIAS will subsequently set the value of BASE-VARIABLE, | and getting the value of NEW-ALIAS will return the value BASE-VARIABLE has. | Third arg DOCSTRING, if non-nil, is documentation for NEW-ALIAS. If it is | omitted or nil, NEW-ALIAS gets the documentation string of BASE-VARIABLE, | or of the variable at the end of the chain of aliases, if BASE-VARIABLE is | itself an alias. | The return value is BASE-VARIABLE. | | [back] `---- So something like the following would do this (on CVS Emacs): (defvaralias 'c-basic-offset 'tab-width) HTH.
