I understand that, but without the docs on these boards, I'd be playing a game 
of 25! to find the one correct config.

We'll see what response I get from the vendor about the password in the next 24 
hours.

In the meantime I have figured out how to put a pretty good swarf shield over 
the X screw, and may duplicate it on the bottom of the saddle so even the air 
hose will have a hard time moving junk into the screw.  And since this barrier 
is on the bottom of the cross-slider, but leaves a catch trench in the top, so 
I'll duplicate it on top so there is a smooth top on the cross-feed. I'll have 
to machine a shallow trench on the top so the top shield sits flush.
