Steve,

(you may have already clocked this but in case not)

it's worth noting that virtually every control in the property inspectors 
directly targets a particularly property of the object, and that these 
properties are in general documented.  But - they're not necessarily 
documented under the names that they have in the property inspector.  Here 
comes the tip: if you float your mouse over the control in the PI, the 
tool-tip displayed is the actual property name which you can then lookup in 
the documentation.

There's also a preference which reverses this: it makes the PI use the actual 
property name for each checkbox (etc), and puts the more verbose label into 
the tool-tip.
