How do I make Racial Skills work?

[Greylin]

Hi, an odd one:

We have a variant jungle halfling race, which should get Climb, Hide, Move Silently, Survival as 'racial skills'.

In the custom race, I added those four skills under the Class Skills button. But oddly they don't appear as class skills. So if I make a cleric, they appear as cross-class skills (1 pt = 1/2 rank) instead of class skills (1 pt = 1 rank).

I note the help next to race 'class skills' says that most races don't have class skills. Is this a subtle way of saying, 'this doesn't work in HL?'

Any suggestions for a simple fix?

Here's an example of how to make some skills always a class skill (pulled from Aasimar - MM1)

A very belated thank you - finally applied this while tidying up PCs for our annual gaming session. Great to tick that off my to-do list!
