! However, options set using @code{edit-options} are set only for the
! duration of your editing session.  The new values are not saved
! between sessions.  Each time Emacs starts, it reads the original
  value, unless you change the value within your @file{.emacs} file,
  either by setting it manually or by using @code{customize}.
  @xref{Emacs Initialization, , Your @file{.emacs} File}.
  
! For me, the major use of the @code{edit-options} command is to suggest
! variables that I might want to set in my @file{.emacs} file.  I urge
! you to look through the list.

  The name of the variable is @code{text-mode-hook}; it has no default
  value; and its documentation string tells you what it does.
  
! The @code{:type} keyword tells Emacs what kind of data
! @code{text-mode-hook} should be set to and how to display the value in
! a Customization buffer.
  
  The @code{:options} keyword specifies a suggested list of values for
  the variable.  Currently, you can use @code{:options} only for a hook.
