I just get tired of putting in the standard newbie disclaimer:
I HAVE searched the archives, I HAVE done "apropos ~ ", I HAVE RTFM, I HAVE
tried Google, and I STILL do not know the answer. 

Maybe I should, just to cover my butt from annoyed, veteran users. Thing is, though, 
that this list is called "User", not "Upper-echelon-kernel-developers-do-not-disturb".

Newbie though I am, I _am_ a user, too. 

Thanks. BTW, to all who patiently help. I think the Debian support/documentation 
systems are awesome.
