Bill, I far prefer your simple explanation to that in the SIMS documentation. If I had been able to read your explanation when I set up SIMS, it would have saved me a week of bewilderment. The SIMS documentation is stupefying, IMHO. They should include your explanation instead of theirs, then provide a link to their current explanation for people who like smashing their heads into walls.
