Re: Configuration query

["Thomas S. Dye" <tsd@tsdye.com>]

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.
