Gaaacck! Sputter... Mutter...  No wonder I spent 10 minutes trying 
to figure out what I was typing wrong since I knew darned well it 
worked the last time I fooled with it, using the keywords on and 
off instead of the numerical.  Mt needs more informative error 
messages thats for sure. I apparently didn't have presence of mind 
enough to check the manpage.  Me Dumb!

Thanks Jean-Louis.
