Fantastic and exactly what I was looking for! I realize I'm pretty
horrible at following through on my Worg aspirations... but perhaps I
can file this and some other things like this to help others with
customization of variables. Some of these syntax things seem to appear
with reasonable frequency and cause us non-elispers definite
confusion. I could see a page on setting .emacs options as helpful.
Come to think of it, I probably should have googled for more general
Emacs customization information.
Anyway, many thanks for the quick response and assistance!
