You know, after I sent that, I wondered if, like slrn, they might be
toggles, but didn't have any mail left to check with, having just read it
all, and also figured the help screen didn't mention toggle, so just as
well to have asked.
I'd just say change the help screen, then? :)

Having just gotten into it a week ago, I'm reluctant to twiddle with that
much of its formatting that quickly, but I'll retain this for when I feel
more comfy with it. I'm still getting used to "native mode"...ie., default
configuration. Thanks for the tip...I'll look it up now, and play later.
