Sure.  Note that this is probably an off-by-one error that depends on
how you define how you enumerate the rows/columns or so.  I might have
made a honest mistake or just counted differently.  It doesn't matter
much either way, as long as we interpret it consistently.  That said,
0x20 is a "rounder" value and is probably what everybody else uses (or
should use).  So, put it in, please.

I don't remember reading documentation about this, btw.  I think I
just figured it out by experiment, or looking at some source, I don't
remember where I got it from.

Thanks,
Marcus
