I guess, I was a bit incomplete. Sorry. First, it seems, that setq
statements don't work for JDE customization. So, only
custom-set-variables will work. But -- at least for xemacs -- only
*one* custom-set-variables statement is allowed and I would like to
leave that for the individual persons use.
In our case the site wide customization file is loaded with load from
the users .emacs, because we don't have a site wide installation of
XEmacs and can't use site-start.el. But putting the company
configuration in a separate file would make updates much easier.
It looks like we really need to pass the settings around for
cut-and-paste into the users .emacs.
Thanks
