Thank you and Eli for pointing out what should have been obvious to me. 

I was blissfully unaware of the Customize feature of emacs, and wonder
why you recommend it in this case. As best I can make out, it creates a
set of values for variables. But I don't see that the synonyms command
requires setting values for variables, unless it is the name and
location of the thesaurus and cache, which at this point I simply define
in .emacs initiatialization. Why is it better to do it some other way?
