C-h f set-variable says: "VALUE is used literally, not evaluated." So the quote isn't needed. If you provide a quote, the variable would be set to the list (quote all). > the code says this is a constant like > nil. where is it defined, what does it mean? The symbol all is not globally special like nil. The defcustom you're looking at just uses the symbol as a value itself, and not as a variable storing another value. paul
