Sure thing. When I have a page open and open Firebug, then drill down to the element I want to play with, I tab down to a new line within the CSS rule for that element. I type "margin" and then hit tab and enter whatever...like 10px 0 0 20px for example. When I tab to a new line, it keeps that format of the shorthand. But when I click (so I can copy and paste into my stylesheet) that's when Firebug breaks it out into the margin-top, margin-left, etc. lines. Does that help?
