Meaning of PageStyle as a class parameter

Thanks very much! That solves the confusion.
Is it possible to eliminate and remove the "Default" page style from the drop-down list and make "fancy" as the only available page style?

As explained in section 5.3.5 of the customization manual, this is the default page style for the class. Now look at line 30 of the layout file: "PageStyle empty|plain|headings|myheadings|ruled|Ruled|companion". Note that it is in a section named "ClassOptions" (begins on line 28), which is explained in the customization manual in section 5.3.6.
