@code{(interactive)}.  The @code{mark-whole-buffer} function is like
this.

Alternatively, if the special letter-codes are not right for your
application, you can pass your own arguments to @code{interactive} as
a list.  @xref{interactive, , Using @code{Interactive}, elisp, The
GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}, for more information about this advanced
technique.

either by setting it manually or by using @code{customize}.
@xref{Emacs Initialization, , Your @file{.emacs} File}.

For me, the major use of the @code{edit-options} command is to suggest
variables that I might want to set in my @file{.emacs} file.  I urge
you to look through the list.  (@xref{Edit Options, , Editing Variable
Values, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}.)

to say, the symbol @code{flowers} holds the address of the pair of
address-boxes, the first of which holds the address of @code{violet},
and the second of which holds the address of @code{buttercup}.

A pair of address-boxes is called a @dfn{cons cell} or @dfn{dotted
pair}.  @xref{List Type, , List Type , elisp, The GNU Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual}, and @ref{Dotted Pair Notation, , Dotted Pair
Notation, elisp, The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}, for more
information about cons cells and dotted pairs.
