>From my previous message:


          M-: (setq custom-file "X")
          M-x customize
          do some editing
          save (into X)
          M-: (setq custom-file "Y")
          get (from ?)

          Question is "from X" or "from Y"?

      Good point. I would think it should be Y.

   Absolutely not. `(setq custom-file "Y")' means that you want Custom to
   _write_ to Y.  If you want Y to be read you have to load Y.

Well, it is a little bit more complex than that.  As long as you have
not saved any options through Custom since the `M-: (setq custom-file "Y")'
you should read from X, for the reason given above.  But once you save
new options through Custom, the up to date description of current options
is in Y, not in X.

Sincerely,

Luc.
