Wow, that was fast!

OK, I see that now. I did look in the docs before, but the examples I saw were 
for non-modification items, i.e. list, etc., and there was no sudo on the line. 
I took that to mean I didn't need it. Going back and looking, I see that it's 
on the install and other modifying lines.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks very much for the insanely quick response!
