perhaps richard was too subtle.  there is no `one place' where these things
are set.  some window managers ignore the xrdb in favor of something of
their own, others just pay no attention to anything but their compiled
settings or when you are lucky command line arguments.  and every
application has the same choices.  it's a wilderness, and it's getting
worse.

hi,

if you saved the customization of some variable
(ada-prj-default-debugger ?), your .emacs should contain lines similar
to the folowing:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
....
 '(ada-prj-default-debugger "${cross_prefix}ddd")
....
) 

if you have more than just one call to custom-set-variables somewhere
in the lisp code, which is executed starting emacs and ada-mode, the
last one is valid.

You're a hard man Those.. But suprise, I've already posted about this
thrice on the perl beginner list.  I get no farther than suggestions
to use Term::ReadLine.

If it were really plain to see, I'd see it.  I've written semi
extensive perl scripts and know rudimentary perl.

I want emacs style editing so while it may be a bit of a stretch, it
is emacs related.

I'm sorry but instructions on how to use term::readline have very
little to do with emacs. If you want emacs like editing you could
always rewrite your user interface in emacs lisp :) Then you would
get EMACS EDITING.

But seriously just download the source to a program that uses
Term:readline and figure it out. (vicq is a simple icq program written in 
perl that uses that library.)

Any variable I can set so I never get the message "somebuffer has
shrunk a lot --auto-save turned off until next real save"?  I would
like to keep it on all the time.

Thanks.
