Welcome!  New users are encouraged to make use of the available resources
to see if their question or issue is covered before querying the list.
That includes the FAQ, User's Guide, and email list archives.  In this case,
you wouldn't have needed to go beyond the FAQ.  There's a nice entry about
this in there.  See:
