For some reason, Github won't allow me to log in at the moment. It keeps 
insisting I need to enable cookies, even though I have. Perhaps it 
doesn't like my browser? I'll have to try on another computer with a 
different browser.

Terry, you had some nice suggestions for wording. If you want to submit 
a PR, feel free to take over the issue. I probably won't get a chance to 
do any more on this for a week.
