In general, it is highly recommended to post such requests to
help-gnu-emacs AT gnu DOT org or emacs-devel AT gnu DOT org.  That's where Emacs
users and developers hang out.  There's only one Emacs developer here,
and he currently doesn't have too much time to be of sufficient help ;-)

When you customize and option, there's a menu of choices in the
Customize buffer, which has menu item "Save for future sessions".
Click on that, and the setting will be written to your .emacs file.
