ok. that's what i should have asked from the very begining and using
this word: fine- tuning. thank you for your patience while reading my

oooohh ... so you overwrite some mm defaults that way. cool. what i had
in mind was a bit different: having a ock.tmac that starts with

ok. fine tuning over modifying.
