Okay, within the NDA....
I got the feeling when I was in Brussels that you might loose points if the
configuration of the 'extra' commands implies that you don't really
understand what you are doing......Otherwise it was my impression that it's
no problem (I config.ed some 'extras' for sth. and I had to explain to the
proctor what it did.....(optimization)).
