The syntax in those files was created by the GUI, are they wrong?
It sure looks like it. The GUI can be a bit inscrutable; I'd recommend
hand-editing one of your individual PC files to look like the syntax
below, then call it up in the GUI to see the difference. It looks like

Okay, that fixed it! So... the gui is broken?
