Thanks for all the responses.  I guess something confuses me though.
Why does this work:

put:
(setq baud-rate 38400)
into a buffer and then:
M-x eval-buffer

but this doesn't:

M-x set-variable RET baud-rate

???

I would assume that anything that can be 'setq'd can be 'set-variable'd, but
maybe I am missing something.
