Just what is _not_ being gotten (what values cannot be automatically written by custom-set*)? Standard (D => F,C) Saved (S => F,C) Current (C => F,C) Presumably, `Set All' means `evaluate new values specified in your initialization file, both those automatically written by custom-set-* as well as those you have written manually, but do not write the new initialization file'. I don't understand this. Set All (F=>C) means set all current values (C) to the values shown in the edit fields (F). What does this have to do with the init file? Presumably, `Save All' means simply `automatically write custom-set-* values into your initialization file, write that file, and then evaluate it'. I was with you up until the last clause, "and then evaluate it". I don't believe that is the current behavior or what is expressed by F=>C,S (set current values from edit fields and save edit fields to custom file). Evaluating the custom file would do a lot more than F=>C, and I expect that that would introduce unwanted behavior.
