Hi ,
is there any function to save a variable customization for future
sessions (i.e. to the custom-set-variables section of my .emacs),
or do I have to write it myself?
Just to clarify; I know how to save a customization manually from the
custom buffer, but I want to do this by calling a function from
within some other elisp code.

What is your bet?
How do you think the customization buffer does it?
Do you know about C-h -k ?
Since the customization buffer saves these variables when you type C-x
C-s, you can learn what command is called by typing in a
customization buffer: C-h k C-x C-s
In the help buffer giving the help about that command, you can clic on
the link to the command source, and there you can read it and find
what function is called to save all the custom variables. Go see the
source of that function to check that it does exactly what you want,
and if yes, then use it.

C-h f custom... will reveal a couple hundred custom- or customize-
functions. It looks like customize-save-variable is a start.

Thanks, that did the job.
I don't know why I didn't find that before.

Hi Pascal,
that was the first thing I tried.
It lead me to the function that saves all changes in the *Customize
Group* buffer (I want to save just a single variable). I followed a
trail which led back to a c function, and still didn't give me the answer.
