i consulted the docstring and the manual.  the description was greek
to me and there was no reference to qa term you used afaict.

but i figured out that article is the default and now know that you
want me to change header-string in that.  so i did this:

(with-eval-after-load 'org-latex
  (setf (second (assoc "article" org-latex-classes))
        ;; non-idempotent is undesirable
        (concat "\\setlength{\\parindent}{0pt}\\setlength{\\parskip}{6pt}"
                ;; repeating this form is undesirable
                (second (assoc "article" org-latex-classes)))))

which seems to set the variable correctly but has no effect.

it's ok to drop this.  i am limited in computer use and cannot sustain
more debugging cycles.

thanks for your help.
