how to avoid that an option is modified from outside menus of customization?
I modify an option, I record it for future uses but always appears another 
one when initiating emacs...
In concrete one is the option to debugger in the language ADA.
Always appears "ddd..." but I have saved "gvd....."
DESPERADO
Thanks...

Hi,

I'm trying to build some skeletons for tcl and auto-expand them
with abbrev just like the description here: 

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SkeletonMode

My definition looks like this:

(define-abbrev tcl-mode-abbrev-table "_if"
"" 'tcl-if)

(define-skeleton tcl-if
  "A simple tcl if skeleton" nil
  \n 
  "if { "
  _
  " } {"
  \n \n
  "} else {"
  \n \n
  "}"
)

(setq skeleton-end-hook nil)


So, when I type in _if in a tcl buffer, it should auto-expand to a new 
"if" statement stub. But, it doesn't do anything. I've turned on abbrev
mode and skeleton, but it doesn't make any difference.  Anyone have any
idea why? 

TIA,
-Tennis

I agree with your proposal for an uninstgaller for all packages. 

What I am proposing is for all packages to be compartmentalized, by
default ("configure; make; make install"), in their own directories
with version numbers so multiple version of the same package can
co-exist without conflicts and collisions.
