That's OK: you are reaching an initiated person here (although goog to
correct the erratum for archival reasons).
I do have a puzzlement, sorry if it seems like I am not sufficiently
trustful (but anything having to do with making changes to my Windows
Registry sets off "max caution" alarms, as it of course should).

Where does this distinction between the letter "%l" (that's percent-symbol
followed by alphabetic letter "L" in lowercase) and the string of tokens
"%1" (that's percent-1, numeral "one" symbol), come from? Is this some
in(f|t)ernal MS Windows Registry thing? ;-)

Much appreciated.
