customize-variable

[Shao Zhang]

Hi,

I really hate to use customize-variable, but sometimes I have to use it
coz I have no idea what the variable's format is.

I have my config sorted out nicely into different files like .gnus,
.emacs, and all of them are cvs controlled as well. However, every time I
use customize-variable, it simply inserts the information randomly to a
customize block, I had to manually move them around, or cut into
different files in order to keep them readable. And it even get worse
when cvs merge my config changes from different machines.

So how does everybody else live with customize-variable?

Thanks

Shao.
