    I believe the following text in the node Easy Customization in Info is not
    entirely correct:

	and to save settings permanently
	in your `~/.emacs' file (*note Init File::).

    Should it not be something like "in your custom-file (defaults to
    ~/.emacs)"?

That change would make more complexity for beginners.
It is better not to let these obscure features get in the way
of explaining the normal case.
