Thanks.

Perhaps we should not do that. "Customizing the option foo" is much
cleaner than "saving the variable foo through the Customize interface."

A couple of small grammar tweaks:
You can turn display of tool bars on or off with @kbd{M-x
tool-bar-mode}. You can turn tool bars off permanently by putting
the line @code{(tool-bar-mode 0)} in your @file{.emacs} file, or by
setting and saving the variable @code{tool-bar-mode} through the
Customize interface.
I still think that "customizing the option @code{tool-bar-mode}" is much
better.
