Ross, thanks for clearing that up.  Is there anything in the 
documentation that talks about that?  I've read through most of the docs 
and don't remember any details about that distinction.  Are there other 
variables that this applies to?

Sounds good.  Uploaded to my github account and layer posted to OE 
index.  I hope it helps someone else!
