Thank you for responding, but I'm *really* not wanting this to
become another discussion on "how high my Oh-levels should be". ;)

My question for this discussion is specifically how to prevent
overriding a port's own setting for that parm, and to provide a
default setting -O[1] when the port does not set it at all?

(I'll save my l-o-n-g-e-r reply for later... believe me I have reasons ;)
