DM: Thanks much for taking the time to write out the above text; in my
opinion, you have significantly increased the chances of I or someone
else on the list submitting a related edit to the FAQ. I remember a
'long while ago' not being able to figure out on my own how to set this
up and someone on this list gave the specific info to get it working.
But I agree, it would be much better to have it as a part of the FAQ;
hopefully it will show up there before too long.
