Dev,

I'm deep in the Adirondacks on a SAT inet connection (not in cell range) and 
the clouds are playing havoc with the connection. So just a brief, partial 
answer today, more when I get back on Monday.

First off know that we did quite a bit during the last refactoring to isolate 
the "data contract" (ie the FIX message on the wire) from everything having to 
do with the GUI.

We had some very strong business reasons to do that in addition to technical. 
It should go forward much better this way too. 

Bottom line is parameters are now very much concerned with how things look on 
the FIX wire. Widgets/Controls are separate and not necessarily one-to-one to a 
parameter. Much of what you are seeing relates to this move to isolate the two.

If you have access to XML spy you can spin out about 277 pages of documentation 
from the standing xsd files. Some of the in-line documentation has bee upgraded 
but admittedly we still have a ways to go to bring it all current. 

More formal documentation is also in the works. 

I can be much more helpful to you on Monday when I'm back inside 
"civilization"...

Rick
