Dunno what 8.5.1 means. But as I said:
If the text you cited is in an Emacs 23 manual somewhere, then please file an
Emacs (doc) bug, using `M-x report-emacs-bug'. Explain that the text you cited
is not clear to you. In particular, "readily settable variable" is unclear. What
is missing (in the text you cited) is an explicit reference to _interactive_
setting using `M-x set-variable'.
