'z' is not used in this tag. The 'x' is the 'number' of selections 
added. If it a number is not included, the number '1' is assumed.

(The docs from ADD:CLASSSKILLS() where copied over but not fully 
cleaned up. We'll fix that.)

AUTORANK will add a number of ranks, in this case 1, to the chosen 
skill. I'm not sure what, if any, the significance is of the 
AUTORANK appearing in the middle of the skills list . . .

No we do not. If it is documented as Global, that is a bug, because
the code will barf if you put it in something other than a Class LST
file.

It should be removed from the Global Docs.
