I have in my _emacs file a section called custom-set variables, and 
there I have many entries along with:

'(grep-command "grep --regexp=\"\\B!.*\" --only-matching --no-filename 
FNAME.f90")

which basically displays all the comments in file FNAME.f90. You can 
edit anything inside "".

It's not a good idea to advise novices to edit their
custom-set-variables directly.  Much better to make the changes
within the customize buffer, and then click the button labled
"Save for Future Sessions".  That will update the custom-set-variables
section of your .emacs file.

Thanks to you all !

I had not noticed that my .emacs file was changed by using the 
customization buffer. Great !

Speaking of grep.... does anyone know what's wrong with it in CVS?

M-x grep  gives me

execute-extended-command: Symbol's value as variable is void: grep-mode

Thanks for the help.
