thanks Artur.

Excellent point about the= setq. I have made the change. The emacsWiki article for making packages sa= id that step one (in bold) was to make an account on Savannah and sign the = copyright transfer information. However, it did not have any apparently obv= ious information about how to do this. Thank you so much for providing that= information. The email has been sent.

It's unusual for people to edit package files dir= ectly. They usually add configurations to their init files. In this case, i= f your package is loaded after their init file your setq will override thei= r setq.

You need to sign the copyright assignment, and then I= can push it for you (you're not the first to ask, the readme really sh= ould say this).

will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes.
