Ok, thanks a lot! Originally, I looked through the manpage to setup my rc, only to \
find a nice help page on the Openbox, so I guess for some reason I assumed the \
manpage would not help me much with the styles. Shows how wrong I was...I'm just \
surprised I didn't get a "RTFM" for what now appears to be a very simple/ignorant \
                question.  ; )
