    The variables of packagename-- format are for the package-internal use only and not intended to be modified directly by the user. Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 20:45
  • Is the answer maybe that some packages simply lack thorough documentation, and that reading through the code is necessary? I do understand this is open-source, so one cannot assume to have his hand held for everything - I am very grateful that people make there code free to the community! Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 20:46

    The library you are using as an example defines the customization group as osx-dictionary. If you use the M-x customize-group interface, you can see everything the author has intended that the user be able to customize. There are three (3) items in this example. You can also simply type M-x customize and surf through the various groups. Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 20:49
  • Excellent - thank you. Would you recommend deleting the question (yes, I am embarrassed), or maybe just rewording and shortening it to make it more straight-forward for the next newbie? Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 20:52
