I wish I knew; never owned a manual to learn on.  anyone want to lend
me their clutch to practice with? ;)

I understand the geek tendency to be lazy (usually creatively, which I
think is how Perl was invented), but that's often counterweighted by
the geek tendency to want to learn heaps of new skills -- the Da Vinci
/ R.A. Heinlein syndrome.

"drive a stick-shift" is somewhere between "butcher a hog" and "conn a
ship" for me. :)
