I'll admit that I didn't even read the help file. I'd guess the thing to
do would be to as that they omit any reference to automatic centering
and, instead, just describe the process that can be used to center the
panel?

Please bear with me if I'm missing something. I'm under the weather,
under the influence of medication, and elderly. As "wasted" as I am at
the moment, I can see that I made some explicative errors in my most
recent previous message, and I'm wondering if I'm doing the same in this
one.

I think it's nap time for me!
