 Ah, great (I can see its magic at work right now), thanks. 

 When setting this, though, via G c (customize group) I was presented
with lots of things I could customize, but before I could read any of
the long descriptions of the variables (by clicking [more]) I had to
activate the variable first (by clicking the [ ] at the left) before I
could read about it.  I think it would be better to be able to read
about all the variables anyway regardless of whether you have activated
them.  What think ye all?
