For someone like me, who fails to spot the related variables even within a single file, I think hiving customisation off into a separate file might set up a few new tripwires for future me. Having said that, having let my .emacs grow organically (think "rampant weeds") for 30 years, maybe I should take the shears to it. I'm just worried that, if I started today, I might not be productive again until the New Year :-( Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.bennett@fu-berlin.de
