Okay, see attached.  This is not a particularly pretty page, but it's a 
start.  Note that the values I put in are not even supposed to be 
correct; they are just an example of what might go in different boxes. 
Somebody who has actual information or knowledge should put the correct 
values in.  Or better yet, reorganize it for maximal usefulness.

Better than nothing?  Maybe...

go where should edit these tables and put correct values in them.</p>
