Ah, OK that worked.  Thanks.

The reasons I'd prefer to do it manually are:

1. a basic aversion to having GUIs (or GUI-like things, such as
customize-group) sneakily editing my files without my knowledge

and

2. The cryptic warning that customize-group inserts into the
custom-set-variable block about not having more than one
custom-set-variable in init files

Do you think that's reasonable, or am I just being a paranoid luddite?
(Like a paranoid android, except not as robotic ...)
