True enough.  And better yet, put it into HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that if more than one user uses the PC, each can
customize as he desires.

But I kind of wanted it to be controlled through code in the .emacs file and
not in the registry, because that way I have portability if I take my emacs
installation elsewhere.  I don't have to remember to import a reg file if I
take it to a PC in the lab, or at a customer site.
