Initialization customization not being saved : solved !

[Allan J Mui]

Sorry, I have found the problem and the feature is now working properly. I
had byte-compiled my .emacs.el initialization file and failed to
byte-compile again after making the "Inhibit Startup Screen" variable
customization. I also ignored the warning message generated by emacs at
startup : "_emacs.el" is newer than "_emacs.elc" .

Thank you for your attention and I appreciate the new version very much.

> I am trying to "Customize Startup" using the link on the Emacs startup
screen. When I toggle "Inhibit Startup Screen" to "on", "Save for future
sessions" and click "Finish" it appears to work but when I restart Emacs
the setting is back to the default of "off". The Startup screen is still
being displayed.
