First, I gotta ask, did you accidently drink 5 gallons of extra strong
coffee?  :-) :-)

Quite a productive day you had!!

pretty cool.  The alist customization  is very close to what I though it
would look like.  Is there a way to make it not display the compiled
function stuff and instead something like:

  Start With: (toolbar-external "xterm" "-e" "trn")  

 
On the other hand, if I put on my novice-user cap, I think I'd be confused 
by the news & mail reader customization.  validation is fine if I know a
priori what I want to type in.  If I've stumbled onto the mail or news
reader alist and know enough about lisp to know those are my choices then
I'd have a shot.  

Ideally, I'd think a user would prefer a customization buffer with a bunch 
of radio buttons and they would just click on their choice.  If the radio
buttons are generated from the [news/mail]-reader-alist then there would
not be a need to validate.
