In-Reply-To: <E1D43G4-0002jG-Ow@fencepost.gnu.org> (message from Richard Stallman on Wed, 23 Feb 2005 15:37:20 -0500)

   You've set this %c and Customize saved it in your init file.

That gets rid of the confusion that the user might have set it by hand
in his init file, which was by far the worst of the two possible
confusions.  So it is a big improvement over your previous suggestion.

It might still confuse people who set custom-file.  (I have the
impression that this concerns much more people than you believe.)  I
still do not understand why one would want to explain the mechanics
of how Custom saves values _in the State message_.  You do not have
enough place there to do it accurately and it has nothing to do with
which state the option is in.

Sincerely,

Luc.
