Yes, `set-variable' is a very convenient method of changing the variable's value interactively. > If so, can you explain why it is more convenient for you? It is convenient for several reasons: 1. picks up the default variable name from the buffer; 2. provides completion for the variable name; 3. provides the old variable's value as default for editing in the minibuffer (by typing M-n); -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
