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. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jared Wright Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 7:28 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
