If your minibuffer test that you start typing, e.g., `customize-o' changes to `customize-variable' then I think something in your init file or code it loads is causing that. I don't see that with `emacs -Q' (no init file). Do you? On the other hand, if what you mean is that after you type `M-x customize-option RET' you see a _prompt_ that says this: Customize variable:=20 That's something different. That's a prompt for the name of the option. A user option in Emacs is a _customizable_ variable, that is, a variable that you can change using the Customize system (UI or functions). Presumably, the reason the prompt says "variable" and not option is to help underline the fact that an option is a variable. [Personally, I think it would be better for it to say "Customize option:", to avoid the confusion you encountered. If someone doesn't know what an option is then `C-h f customize-option' should tell them.] > > Not knowing lisp, I would appreciate some assistance in correcting this= . >=20 > There's no need to correct anything: an option in Emacs is also a > variable. IOW, these two are synonyms. Not really, no. Every option is a variable, but not every variable is an option. Of course, the command has "customize" in its name, so yes, in this context, every variable name you can usefully enter has to be an option name.
