You only have to do it once.  I'm not familiar with the "Y" marking,
perhaps it's a function of a different type of Emacs (I use XEmacs).

Hmm, you're using GNU Emacs, instead of XEmacs?  It's been a long time
since I used GNU Emacs, but I think your .emacs file is the one to
use. Is there other initialization-looking stuff in there?
