Thanks. That seems to work to set defaults when running standalone.
( I haven't yet tested it running client/server )
It would still be handy if there was a way to pass values from the
commandline.
( After I set servername, the next error was for environment, which I
also now set,
but that value is more likely to change than servername )
I guess as an alternative, I could try moving these default settings
into another imported file.
