However, some configurations settings must be done by manually setting the customizataion variables (at least according the FAQ) in the .emacs file. Now, the interactive emacs configuration **also** modifies .emacs. What do I have to do to keep my settings and thos Emacs is writing, apart? I don't want Emacs to override my settings, and I don't want the Emacs configuration tool to get confused, just because my .emacs file contains things I have put there. Ronald
