When you aim the painstik, you accomplish the first step, but when you turn
the painstik on, you accomplish the zeroth step. KGT
"The implication here is that activating the painstik must be done before
beginning the ritualistic part of the ceremony." (KGT p.177)

FYI: Many people on this list use *{De'wI' mIw} for a "computer program"
(the verb is {ghun} "program (a computer)") and I've also seen *{Hung mIw}
used for "security protocol".
