Hi Peter,
One way to do it. Just follow the example in the NR.
You have 2.19.52. I'd urge you to upgrade to 2.19.82. My usual comment: although the development releases are called 'unstable' I find it is pretty hard to crash them, and I bash away at the program all day. I think the term unstable, though technically accurate, puts many people off from taking advantage of many great new features and capabilities.
