The standard NeXTstep font and color panels are accessible through the Windows
menu, or through the standard Cmd-t and Cmd-C.  These are easier to use than
Emacs's own methods for setting these items.  To use the color panel, drag
from it to an emacs frame.  The foreground (or background, if shift is held
down) of the face at that point will be changed.  To finalize settings for
either color or font, choose 'Save Preferences' from under the Help menu.  To
discard these settings, create a new frame and close the altered one.

Opening files / directories and 'Save Buffer As' operated from the menus use

Under X, resources are used to customize the behavior of Emacs to the needs of
the user.  These resources are queried programmatically with the
@code{x-get-resource} function.  Under NS defaults fulfill a similar function.
They can be read using the @code{ns-get-resource} function.  Calls to
@code{x-get-resource} are automatically mapped to @code{ns-get-resource}.
From the command line, the command `@code{defaults read Emacs}' will show
these resources as of last Emacs quit, and individual resources can be
read/written by commands like `@code{defaults read Emacs Foo}' and
`@code{defaults write Emacs Foo barvalue}'.

Calling the function @code{ns-save-preferences} in lisp, or selecting ``Save
Options'' from the 'Options' menu will automatically write out the defaults
corresponding to the selected window.
