Since I'm disrupting the flow of these lines anyway, expand the VM acronym because I think this is one of the first manuals people will be looking at. Reset list alignment to seven characters. It was at 19 characters, and that was not enough to align them all, wasting many extra lines by crunching all the words over. Seven actually bought us some lines from six due to avg item size.
