Thanks! <blush>

One caveat for others using this tool: support for default deny is still not
completely correct when combined with masquerading, so what I suggest for now
is that you set the default policy to ACCEPT and check the checkboxes that set
the default policy for TCP and UDP on the Internet interface to DENY. If you're
not masquerading, then everything *should* work okay with the default policy
set to DENY.

And I will try to put some samples up with detailed comments. I tried to make
it generate well-commented firewall script files; sorry they aren't adequate.
