"I'm not really a nerd, so I'll have to ask to get a little wiser:"
BOS, I think the implication from Leafer was that what you were essentially saying was:
"Hello Nerds, I need your help.
Can someone make my life easy 'cos I am unwilling to scan even just the FIRST page of the 'Home Cockpits' section" (which is where you'd get most of your answers off the bat.)
Go there and prepare to be confused, and don't expect any magic switches. It's all file-editing and a LOT of time to get all the type of stuff you're asking for, but it is possible.
Oh, and pay attention to anything PeterP says, he's Mr. Output.
