this is so embarrassing. I should have grepped the files in the doc
directory before asking.
I always admire how patient you are with john users who ask questions
which can easily be answered just by RTFM.
Be assured that I did read the documentation.
But may be I should repeat the exercise from time to time, to refresh
what I might have forgotten and to learn what's new.
I was so surprised by seeing the two new external modes using variables
I never saw in the other external modes that I just couldn't help asking
because I was afraid I might have missed other variables that could have
been helpful in my own external modes.

There's really no question left unanswered in the documentation which
already exists. Thanks.
