Just FYI, Drew took this off-list with a few people copied, and basically he and I seemed to be the only ones more than marginally interested, and we wildly disagreed (Drew's standpoint being that every menu should have its own "Save Options" and never save what is not in the menu itself, and I completely opposed). Since repeating back one's arguments between two persons is not getting anywhere (and probably nobody would be interested in the outcome, anyway), I quit as well. So that was that. I still think it a mistake that "Save Options" will not even bother to ask whether it should also save options one set with "Customize", and I had been willing to implement that proposal, but as no agreement can be reached, let's just keep this as it has been before. Shrug. To make up for it, I fixed some bugs in textprop.c. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
