BTW, I don't see the text or the example that you cited anywhere in the= Elisp
manual - in Emacs 20, 21, 22, or 23. Where did you find this? In the Elisp<= br> manual, node `Defining Variables', I see `*' described explicitly a= s pertaining
to command `set-variable'.

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 yo= u cited
is not clear to you. In particular, "readily settable variable" i= s unclear. What
is missing (in the text you cited) is an explicit reference to _interactive= _
setting using `M-x set-variable'.
