Hi, Nice to see that the help manual is being updated. As suggested, I found a few ``xx'' 's in the most recent source (v. 1.9.90), and came up with a few default values. I did LaTeX the info, so that the output would be nice looking. I didn't submit what I thought would be something that could be dropped verbatim into the document.
Hope this helps, and I'll look around the source some more and see what I can come up with.
