I think this may be the annoyance that Ben was referring to. Every
time I start my XEmacs (21.2 latest CVS), I get prompted to save my
custom file because it happens to be write-protected. This happens
even though my custom file already contains the line:
'(load-home-init-file t t)
which is presumably what the startup code is trying to write to my
custom file.
Michael, let me know if I can help you diagnose this.
