emacs feature request

[Jude DaShiell]

Would it be possible to arrange for a question to be asked when a user
exits customization "save customizations to disk (y/n)?". If answer is
yes, please have emacs either create or update that user's .emacs file
with the customizations that were selected. I managed to turn on line
wrapping for files in text mode then exit emacs all the way while having
used the customization menus and got no such prompt and no .emacs file was
created either. It could be a choice exists to write a .emacs file while
in customization menus but I didn't find it yet. If that's the case,
please disregard this message.

In general, it is highly recommended to post such requests to
help-gn...@gnu.org or emacs...@gnu.org. That's where Emacs
users and developers hang out. There's only one Emacs developer here,
and he currently doesn't have too much time to be of sufficient help ;-)

When you customize and option, there's a menu of choices in the
Customize buffer, which has menu item "Save for future sessions".
Click on that, and the setting will be written to your .emacs file.
