Re: Problem with customizing recent-files save file

Didier, please comment.

Known bug, too risky to fix in 21.4 (we've had one disastrous recent bug in init file handling), probably (already? will be?) fixed in 21.5. I think the following will work. Rename your custom file (eg, to ~/.xemacs/options.el). Put (load "~/.xemacs/options.el") (add-hook 'after-init-hook (lambda () (setq custom-file (expand-file-name "~/.xemacs/options.el")))) -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
