It's been mentioned that if you hack the vars in

someplace else (a user-specific location), you can change the
variables so it works. (I should try it just to see how it works.)
That sounds like a lot of work! Here's how I do it. Feel free to leave
my .signature on. I got into the habit of putting at least one colon in
front back in the 80's, when I was pretty active in a shell script
