I dunno what weird UNIX you're using, but if you'll look at a stock AT&T SVr3.2
manual set you'll find the sections to be as I described them. Did it occur
to you that we might *both* be right before you hit the send key?

<sigh> Two-valued logic is such a bummer sometimes. 

I'll add a note that sections 4 and 5 and 7 have been known to get swapped
around.
