Wait.  Do you mean I can still use edit-faces to change faces and when
I Save Options the changes will be saved, because they were not set by
customize?  Hang on...

OK, went and tried.  Modified a face with edit-faces, did Save
Options, and it wrote out a new .xemacs-options with no face-setting
stuff at all.  Just wiped it all out.  Glad I saved it first.

I think what I'd like to be able to do is this.  Start up with my
current setup, so I start basically where I am now.  Do Save Options,
which writes a nice new little .xemacs-options with only the stuff it
should have in the New Order - no face stuff.  Then start up Customize
Faces.  It looks like it comes up using the faces that were set by
.xemacs-options.  What I'd like to do then is Save this setup for
customize to use later.  I tried this, and neither Set nor Save did
this.  Is it possible?  This would be the easiest way to migrate.

Thanks, and again sorry for my tone last night.  Just stressed out a
bit.
