I like it, with one caveat. As I browsed the output of customized-changed, a couple of variables caught my eye that I would have missed if they were hidden in a tree structure. However, that concern would be mitigated with an Expand All button (with a corresponding Collapse All button). By the way, the prompt for customize-browse says "(default all versions)". I don't understand what that means. It tells me, Show all options that are different from any other version. But this is essentially *every* option. I think this prompt should read, (default last version). -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E. Vote Libertarian!
