Thanks for the suggestions. I did get this to work. What prevented the new line
from working is I had forgotten to take out the line:
between-system-spacing = 65\mm
Once this was removed it started to work. I am planning to write something for
the docs once I figure out how the different numbers effect the way the spacing
is calculated. At least it is working now.
