yep, that's what I figured it had to mean.  however, I tried it and it
didn't work.  This is probably because I messed up where the user was
defined or something, but the whole thing took so long even to try out
that I gave up.  Are we the only ones who find it counter-intuitive?!
or at the very least, downright unpleasant... perhaps it's just
ZClasses.  It usually is :) I gave up and did it in a product eventually.
