Why not use something more Lispish? (defsaint enable-multifile-documents (checkbox :format "%v Enable multifile documents." (not TeX-master)) "When @LaTeX{} documents grow large, they are often split up in multiple files. One file is a "master" file, which includes a number of nested files. When formatting the document, you need to run @code{latex} on the master file. If you enable multifile support, AUC @TeX{} will automatically run @code{latex} on the master file, even if you invoke @kbd{C-c C-c} from one of the nested files. In order to do this, AUC TeX will prompt you for a name of a master file first time you edit a file, and insert the name in a comment at the end of the file." (require 'tex) (setq saint-on-next-function (lambda (customize-save-variable 'TeX-master (not (widget-value enable-multifile-parsing)) "Saint")))) But then it looks very much like defcustom. So there is a more general question: why not extend Customize for a guided tour through options? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
