This is what I deduced but couldn't find a description that stated it.

This is also in line with what I was thinking as well.  I just didn't
know this file existed.  I take it from the lack of description out

leave it at that... 

Anyway, you guys have been a great source of information and I can now
start monkeying at will ...  I'm sure I'll be back :)
