Some people just love to cross-post novice questions to multiple
different email lists.  I know - I used to do that, many years ago.
This kellyremo person is the second or third one on this list, and no,
I don't appreciate that kind of waste of my time.  If you do, feel
welcome to post a less intemperate response that you find helpful.
(Please note that your response above was not.)

To me, the FIRST place to look for an answer to a question like this
IS in the manual, and something this basic does not require input from
a list of experts.

I welcome any new members who show some fundamental knowledge of what
this list is and the community rules for posting to it, how to use a
manual (e.g., by not asking questions that are plainly answered there)
and showing even the slightest bit of email netiquette, say, by not
cross-posting questions that are off-topic in all the lists to which
they were posted.  People who expect us to do their homework for them
are welcome to receive feedback such as RTFM, STFW, etc.
