@kindex m R
@pindex calc-mode-record-mode
The @kbd{m R} (@code{calc-mode-record-mode}) command tells Calc to
-record the new mode settings (as if by pressing @kbd{m m}) every
-time a mode setting changes. If Embedded mode is enabled, other
-options are available; @pxref{Mode Settings in Embedded Mode}.
+record all the mode settings (as if by pressing @kbd{m m}) every
+time a mode setting changes. If the modes are saved this way, then this
+``automatic mode recording'' mode is also saved.
+Type @kbd{m R} again to disable this method of recording the mode
+settings. To turn it off permanently, the @kbd{m m} command will also be
+necessary. (If Embedded mode is enabled, other options for recording
+the modes are available; @pxref{Mode Settings in Embedded Mode}.)

@noindent
The mode settings can be changed while Calc is in embedded mode, but
will revert to their original values when embedded mode is ended
-(except for the modes changed while the mode-setting mode was
-@code{Save}).
+(except for the modes saved when the mode-recording mode is
+@code{Save}; see below).
Embedded mode has a rather complicated mechanism for handling mode
settings in Embedded formulas. It is possible to put annotations
We would have to go down to the other formula and press @kbd{M-# u}
on it in order to get it to notice the new annotation.
-Two more mode-recording modes selectable by @kbd{m R} are @code{Save}
-(which works even outside of Embedded mode), in which mode settings
-are recorded permanently in your Calc init file (the file given by the
-variable @code{calc-settings-file}, typically @file{~/.calc.el})
