From: Dorab Patel <patel@UCLA-LOCUS> I can't seem to be able to get setq-default to work on system-defined buffer-specific variables in emacs #85. For instance (setq-default right-margin 45) (setq-default needs-checkpointing 0) in my ~/.emacs_pro do not set the right-margin to 45 or turn off checkpointing for all buffers. I had a look at the code in mlisp.c (in PerformSet), and it seems that the only system variables that seem to be handled are the default tabs. If, however, the setq-defaults are executed manually they do set the right things FOR THAT BUFFER ONLY. By the way, set-default also fails the same way. Has any one got any fixes for this? Thanks, 'dorab

From: James Gosling <cmuitca!jag@jag@cmu-cs-vlsi.arpa> The bug in setq-default was fixed quite awhile ago, unfortunatly, it must have been after #85, and I no longer remember what was wrong...
