emacs

Every time I start Emacs, all the settings
(like paren matching highlightning, fly-spell mode, which dictionary to use...)
I have made the last time are deleted and
changed back to default settings... how could I keep the changes?

I have also tried to change setting as root, but no change are kept when
I start Emacs again.

Can anyone tell me how to keep settings?

I have tried to find out by googling wihout luck.

Once done with your changes select the option
"Save changes" from the options-menu.

If you're not running emacs in X and don't like
to use the menu try
Meta-X customize-save-customized

Thanks TInkstar

Now I can keep settings like 'paren matching highlighttning'

Still, I cannot figure out how to save settings like
'set-language-environment' and which dictionary to use for flyspell-mode.

When I open emacs, I want emacs to have
set-language-environment': latin-1
flyspell-mode (with different dictionary from english)

Does anyone know how I can do that?

Can't set that from within emacs (well, you can edit
the file in question using emacs, I suppose) ... you'll
have to edit your ~/.emacs file manually ... for the
appropriate settings have a google ...

something like
'(set-language-environment "latin-1")
whould work for instance...

Thanks for your advice, Tinkster. It's a great help.

Well I have added the foolllowing lines in ~/.emacs:

Code:

(set-language-environment "Latin-1")
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
(setq LaTex-mode-hook
       '(lambda () 
       (setq ispell-personal-dictionary "~/.ispell-dico-perso")
       (ispell-change-dictionary "dansk")
       ))

It's succeeded to have Latin-1 as default language environment, but
emacs doesn't start flyspell-mode automatically when I open .tex files...
and default dictionary is still English...
Can you maybe see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...

I have resolved the problem:

Code:

;; Latin-1 is compatible with windows/other linux's
(set-language-environment "Latin-1")

;;flyspell-mode with danish dictionary starts up 
;;automatically when a .tex file is opened
(setq latex-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
	(flyspell-mode 1)
	(set (make-local-variable 'ispell-personal-dictionary) "~/.ispell-dico-perso")
	(ispell-change-dictionary "dansk")
	))

I had misspelled latex as LaTex....
