Summary: How Do You ...?

-
    We have recently recieved GNU EMACS and have no local EMACS wizard to
bother with silly questions, so I though that I would bother the readers of
net.emacs :-)  I would appreciate any help with the following questions.

1 - I can change option settings with the 'edit-options' command. But,
    when I exit at the end of the day and come back the next morning the
    options are back to their default values. How do I save the option
    settings and recall them later?

2 - How can I recall macro definitions after I have exited and returned?

3 - Can options be changed and macros defined in the .emacs file? If so,
    how?

4 - What are some of the more interesting, useful and easy things that
    can be done in the .emacs file (other that changing key bindings)?
    How are these done?

5 - Is it possible to have a file of EMACS commands that can be called
    and executed in the middle of editing? How can I create such a 
    file?

    In other words I would like to customize EMACS a bit more to my
liking, but I am having problems doing it. By the way we have version
16.56.1. I know a little LISP, not enough to write any real code, but
enough to be able to modify an example.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Granvold
