I had a problem settin bgaoff in psextract. It's mentioned in the ahelp file, but I wasn't seeing it. I
needed to punlearn psextract to get the latest version that has bgaoff. Thanks, Fabrizio! And Ian George!

  psextract events bgevents root aoff bgaoff [gtype] [gspec]
[verbose]"

This implies that one can set the bgaoff parameter. However, when I do a
plist, I get no evidence that bgaoff exists:
