  So? What is the purpose of this post? Are you teaching a course someplace? If so why would you emphasize using "P" and not "M"? The Program setting should only be used when you absolutely have no idea what settings to use. I have only used it twice in my life and if your avatar is up to date that is before your parents got married or possibly even born.
