It's a good idea first to customize emacs then customize emacspeak.
Emacs customizations can be tricky for the first time. The
customization menu tree when you get into it for each branch has choices
that enable you to save settings but that choice on lesser branches only
saves changes you made in that particular menu. Until you get to save
all settings though, and select that probably nothing happens. To check
your work, after emacs is closed down check for a .emacs file in your
home directory and you should be able to read the customizations you
made in that file. When emacspeak gets started up by itself
notwithstanding customizations already made to emacs, it uses its own
rules and that's what may be causing problems here.

Subject: Emacspeak: Specific and General Inquiries
Hi all, For the moment, I am running into an issue on this setup where
Emacs is not allowing me to save any customization. All customizations
files, including Emacspeak's, contain the notice at the top that informs
me changes will be made only the buffer. It proposes that I have used
the -q or --no_init_file flag, which I have not. I am launching
Emacspeak with no parameters. Is there a config file of some sort I have
to manually create before I can do this? Any other ideas as to what
might be wrong? I have a .emacs.d folder in my home directory, but it
seems to contain only some sort of autosave data. I'm quite stumped,
really.
More generally, I'm fielding suggestions for Emacs and Emacspeak
community resources that would be of use. I've spent too long gawking
at Emacs's potential and not really capitalizing on it, but given the
breadth of Emacs some reliable outlets to get help will be very
appreciated. I've found the dedicated Emacspeak mailing list, but it
seems to have very little traffic. I thought I'd bounce it off this list
as well.
