     Well, I do appreciate the reply, and, if someone will tell me how,
I'll even write up an entry for submission to the FAQ.  (Yes, I've
searched, and found nothing that describes how to submit FAQ entries.)

     However:

* I looked through the (online) FAQ, and found nothing.

* I looked through the (online) documentation, and found nothing.

* I searched the mailing lists, and found nothing.

  [ Although, now that I know what to look for, it's obvious.  I
    obviously did not use the right search terms.  ;-(  ]

* I just joined this list, and so I haven't seen the angry mobs beating
  this roadkill to death.  ;-)

I'm really not trying to be a PITA (really! ;-) but, if people really
don't want to be annoyed by questions like mine, then these common
questions should really be put into the FAQ ....
