;;; Commentary:
;; This file has been obsolete since Emacs 22.1.
;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code. There are two entry
;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'. The latter enters a major
;; mode specifically for editing option values. Do `M-x describe-mode' in
;; that context for more details.
;; The customization buffer feature is intended to make this obsolete.
;;; Code:

It is now better to use Customize instead."

Major mode for editing Emacs user option settings.
Special commands are:
\\[Edit-options-set] -- set variable point points at. New value read using minibuffer.
\\[Edit-options-toggle] -- toggle variable, t -> nil, nil -> t.
\\[Edit-options-t] -- set variable to t.
\\[Edit-options-nil] -- set variable to nil.
Changed values made by these commands take effect immediately.
Each variable description is a paragraph.
For convenience, the characters \\[backward-paragraph] and \\[forward-paragraph] move back and forward by paragraphs."
