Yes, that would be better. However, I did not /know how/ to do that when I 
wrote and last updated the HOWTO. Several people have been kind enough to 
send me material on this issue, and I hope to find the time soon to play, 
test, and learn the material so I can update the HOWTO. The /only/ reason 
this has not yet been done is lack of time on my part.
