+Q. I'm afraid I got stuck very early on. I sent the following line:
+ by (swap_res_tac [psubsetI] 1;
+ Notice that I forgot the right bracket. The line went pink, the
+ buffer went read-only and nothing I tried would let me fix the
+ error.
+
+A. The proof process is waiting for more input, but Proof General
+ doesn't realise this and waits for a response. You
+ should type something in the proof shell, or interrupt the process
+ with C-c C-c or the Stop button.
+
+ [ In case of Isabelle under Poly/ML, you should start PG 3.1
+ using the Isabelle script because it adds a hack to send "f"
+ after an interrupt is sent. With PG 3.2, the hack is added for
+ Poly/ML even if you start Emacs first. ]

Q. How can I keep the Proof General option settings across sessions?
A. Simply use the ordinary XEmacs menu: Options -> Save Options
