One of many reasons not to > use Configure. ... except that the FAQ explicitly suggest using Configure, when you want to learn from it, how to customize Emacs: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq.html#Using-Customize Funnily, when you search the FAQ how to do certain common configurations, the suggestions always say that you should modify your .emacs.... Kind of contradiciting. Ronald
