Aloha Séb and Jörg,
Thanks for these suggestions. I was hoping for something a bit more
fine-grained, so that only the settings that were changed in the file
were reset, and the values they were reset to were the ones they had,
rather than the ones in .emacs. It appears there is no standard way
to do this, which helps me on my way.
Tom
