The example works.  (I should have thought to look for one.)  I have an 
idea about how a mixer should work, and the example works that way.

Now that I've been able to play around, I *think* I got it.  I did read 
the manual before I started, but didn't quite grok the first three 
paragraphs under "Using the Mixer".   After playing around, I'm catching 
on.  I think my confusion is addressed in those paragraphs,... but I'll 
have to play around to make sure I'm on track
