So I finally was able to test out the C-c C-c.  It did ask me if I
wanted to apply and I said yes.  When I exported the file, my postamble
(as specified in the variable) was /not/ shown...it was still the default.

Strangely, when I did C-c C-c, Emacs came back with this:

Notice the *'*'* warning not to be safe.  But the source .org file is
with '#' as it should be (seen further below).

Thoughts?
