Is there some fast way of finding out other than checking the source for each module and variable? I know of the line "You can customize this variable." in the help which is a consequence (?) of setting it up with `defcustom'. Maybe I should just remove all the `require' stuff and use `defvar' and see what happens... Or, I should require *everything* first thing and then be done with it! (...but I like to think that only beginner programmers think in binary.) It would help to know exactly when the byte-compiler say that free variable stuff, and ditto elint unbound variable. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
