Right.  I'm currently working through the usage.txt that you linked me
to.  I was just replying to Sean to see if he had anything extra to
add since his response skipped over the part of the configuration that
I'm interested in.

I think I'll be able to figure it out from here.  I'll be back if I
have more questions.  :)

Thanks for the help!   (both of you)
