Indeed, the values of all variables in the option menu can be changed.
The changes won't be permanent until you save your changes with '>'.

The option menu however lists only a subset of all options (read: variables).
A lot more options can be configured by editing the configuration file
($HOME/.elm/elmrc), usually called the "ELMRC" (where the "rc" at the end
stands for "read commands").

Variables and their values in the ELMRC are listed like this:
|->
# A comment explaing what the variable is used for.
variablename = value
<-|

Common values are "ON", "OFF", pathnames or filenames.
Please note that the ELMRC is sorted alphabetically by variable names.

Have a look at it once and see what else ELM offers for confuguration.
Caveat: If you don't know what a variable affects - don't change it!
(Well, at least make a backup first. :)
