The distinction between a variable and an option should not be dramatized. `setq' works for both as an option is a variable just as much. `set-variable' is interactive so you can use it with M-x and TAB if you don't know/remember the exact option name. Setting options interactively all the time should be avoided tho - better to look for generalized configs that'll stick and be part of your Emacs personality. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
