Two citations together

Hello,
I am trying to present two citation together in a document. It looks like this:

- Screen shot 2011-11-29 at 08.11.05.png (12.64 KiB) Viewed 6888 times
One can see that there are only external brackets to the two citations.
Then I scan the Mellel document to create a bibliography, and get the following results:

- Screen shot 2011-11-29 at 08.12.01.png (11.09 KiB) Viewed 6888 times
The result shows that more brackets have been added. Something in my configuration is wrong.
I'll appreciate your help as to how to get rid of the supplementary brackets.
TIA

Here is a screenshot with an arrow pointing to the setting that you need to change in the Formats Manager:

]Thanks. It worked.
What I am looking for is a way that BE will understand that when two or three citations are together and separated by the : sign, the brackets would be presented only on the exterior sides of the group of citations.
On more question:
How I will get a results different than the one presented here:

Raymond: You’ll have to change this in the Format Manager too – just look at the same tab where you also set the parantheses.

Hello,
I still have difficulties with this issue.
I am coming back to my problem, hoping to get a complementary answer.
I got the following citation before asking for assistance, as shown here:

- One.png (66.04 KiB) Viewed 6799 times
So I wanted to take-off the inside brackets.
After following your advise, I got the following situation:

- Two.png (46.91 KiB) Viewed 6799 times
And I wish to get the following situation:

- Three.png (31.83 KiB) Viewed 6799 times
I hope a solution exists.
