I don't understand.  How can options be changed "in the more concise 'fixed'
mode" if that isn't compiled in?

If the "abnormal" state is intentionally left in, then a "(!)" should be
appended to each and every option, or another message should be created
to tell the user that these are the present selections, which are not
modifiable by the user.
