Thanks for your patience.  True, if I were using a desktop environment,
this would be a no-brainer.

I was just surprised that this setting got moved away from a consistent
location the same everywhere, to a location that depends on what desktop
or distro you use.

But xset will do. :-)

Thanks again,
