It's said setq-default will set the global one why both global and local
variable are there. This is absolute, but I don't know setq.
Usually, setq appears in a file without in any parentheses. Does it mean it
is awlays set the global varaible then? In lisp, is a variable which is
declared in parentheses is called a local varaible only?

There is no such function as SETQ-DEFAULT.

Hmm, you call yourself "jronald", so I don't suspect you are an ESL
student.
You'll never get a software job if you write like this in your resume,
cover letter and e-mail correspondence.

English is second language.
Do you mean I should set paragraphs at least?

Sorry, that should be "Sorry, that should be \"English is my second
language\"".

Since when has "\" been part of English (as opposed to Computerese :-) ?

Indeed. He should have written: «Sorry, that should be “Sorry, that
should be ‘English is my second language’”».
But since we're in c.l.l., \" is acceptable, I think.

I've read it again, and find it really poor. Hope my english will be better.
Thank you all the same.

This is an emacs lisp question, it would be better answered in
news:comp.emacs or news:gnu.emacs.help.
You're not making much sense. What do you mean by "but I don't know setq."?
setq almost never appears in files without parentheses.
In any case, when it appears in a file without parentheses, it doesn't
set anything.
In lisp, variables aren't declared by the parentheses. They are
declared by defvar (or defparameter in Common Lisp).
Perhaps you should read the emacs lisp introduction. Type:
(info "(emacs-lisp-intro)") C-x C-e
or:
C-h i d m emacs lisp intro RET

This sounds like an Emacs-Lisp question, regarding global or buffer
local variables.
I suggest you get the documentation for Emacs lisp and look it up there.
