Preamble
Last post I covered function declarations from the above subsection, lines 135 - 424 of my configuration. This post covers up to "Frames, Buffers, And Lines" (also defaults), so lines 425 - 534.
Most of the defaults are relevant. If you don't want your Emacs to beep when you hit the end of the file, then you need to set a default, and the same for another annoying stuff. I make no promises the following section is efficient (let me know if you see some double entries).
Customization
First though, Emacs will continually add to your config with any auto settings configured through the GUI customization interface. You don't want that, so you need to put it in a separate file like this.
(setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" "c:/emacs/emax/"))
(load custom-file)
Here are some of the defaults I use
;; Keep emacs Custom-settings in separate file
