Comment #3 on issue 1566 by address@hidden: Beam properties won't be  
changed after the start of the beam

I'm changing the title to reflect what is really going on here.

I consider this to be a Documentation issue.  We need to make it clear that  
that the properties of a beam are determined at the *start* of the beam,  
and any changes in the middle of the beam will not take effect until the  
*next* beam.

Keith's example could easily become a snippet.  I'm not sure where it  
should go.  If there's agreement about this as a Documentation issue, I'll  
look into it some more.

Thanks,

Carl
