Frank,
thanks very much.  You're instructions are in fact what I used to figure
out my problems.  I don't know if you saw the followups to my post, but
my confusion was (apparently) due to terminology issues: I was rong
about what the "dimmer" switch in the vanagon was.... I always thought
it was the headlight switch in the dash (right above the seatbelt light).
I'm all setup now, though.
Thanks again!
-Wes
