OK, then please document the **** changes stuff below: Some variables, such as `load-path', are considered particularly "risky": there is seldom any reason to specify them as local variables, and changing them can be dangerous. ****> Emacs will not prompt with "!" in this case, and even if you enter it, <**** Emacs will not record any values as safe for these variables. And don't forget the other important points of my original important post. Thanks.
