Hi,
A couple of questions about some things that have changed
for me.
(1) In Emacs 21 I used the following .emacs lines:
(add-hook 'paragraph-indent-text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'paragraph-indent-text-mode-hook 'refill-mode)
However, in 22 it appears these functions now "toggle," and
I receive the message (e.g.):
Toggling flyspell-mode off; better pass an explicit argument.
What are the revised lines I should be using in 22 please?
(2) Second question is about font coloring in the mini-buffer
line. Some parts are now displayed in dark blue text, e.g. if
I type M-x then that is echoed back to me in dark blue, and
then anything I type after it is gray. As I use a black terminal
background the dark blue is difficult to see; in 21 the entire
line was gray. What option can I set to change the blue text?
Thanks!

I have used the following in both 21 and 22. Modify to taste.
;; For text mode, which is my default, and derivatives
;;
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda ()
(turn-on-auto-fill)
(flyspell-mode t)))

I think: forget the first line!

You can customise it, for example:
'(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:background "yellow" :foreground "dark
red" :weight bold))))
BTW, you can search for minibuffer related customise options ... (and
other)

They've always toggled AFAIK. No change on this side.

What has changed is that in Emacs-22, when the toggle turns things off,
Emacs warns the user rather than doing it silently.
You could do:
(add-hook 'paragraph-indent-text-mode-hook
(lambda () (flyspell-mode t) (refill-mode t)))

You don't want to change that face, then. Instead you want to tell Emacs
that your terminal's background is dark. See C-h v `frame-background-mode'.

... according to the doc strings (Yes, t work's as well, but the
positive arg is recommended, isn't it?).
Bye, Reiner.

Thank you to both Allan and Peter.
The following helped restore my 21 preferences:
(add-hook 'paragraph-indent-text-mode-hook (lambda ()
(refill-mode t)
(flyspell-mode t)))
(setq minibuffer-prompt-properties nil)

Very good point, indeed.

How do you set the background? Emacs should automatically use cyan on
a dark background, the fact it is using dark blue suggests that it
thinks you have a light background. If that is the case, then rather
than customizing each individual face (running into the hundreds if
you have to change them all), it would be better to figure out why
emacs doesn't know your background is dark, and fix that.

When upgrading to a new version of Emacs, its highly recommended you read the
NEWS and PROBLEMS files that come with it. The NEWS file lists user visible and
elisp changes (and often explains how to revert to earlier behavior). the
PROBLEMS file contains information about known problems or issues with the new
version.
A quick scan of these two files can save you a lot of time. For example, I do
remember seeing information about the mini buffer colours and how to customize
them. Its likely the other two issues you mention are also covered.
regards,
Tim
