Thanks prefect, Jean! I did try to look it up in the manual.  I
searched for angle and tilt, and through all the LSR snippets that had
"beam" in them. Didn't try "position", though.

Is it worthwhile to put this work-around in the issue?  I've seen
issues lists where long-standing bugs have work-arounds posted to
them.
