  ok, who's up at this hour who can answer a trivial emacs
question?  to set a variable, i can add to my .emacs file a line like:

(setq varname t)

  but what do i type from *within* an emacs session to set this
variable on the fly?  my first reaction was:

M-x setq varname t

but that doesn't work.  hints?
