Hi Tassilo!

I am having the same problem.
I understood the manual it in the same way you did.

I also found out, that if I enter file as the value for that variable...
and then check again what is assigned to it... it shows the path to my
.emacs file!
In other words... it interpretes file as the file I am in when customizing,
instead of the word file.
If I set it to "file" => I get the same as if set to "t" ...I think that is
the same problem you have.

Greetings,
Eraldo
