Here is a short summary of the preference sections and the
features that they control.
This summary names the corresponding Tcl module in (parentheses)
so that you can dig into the code if you want to.
This section is very terse because there are more lengthy explanations
of all the settings in the online preference dialogs.
This section provides an overview so you can find the preference
