OK, that does help; not sure why I overlooked that before.  Also after 
careful browsing of the C++ API pages I do see mention of the various 
internal functions under "File Members".  It would help to have some 
prose documentation of these functions, but I know that would take a bit 
of effort and is probably relatively low priority to the active 
developers who are knowledgeable in this area.  I will do my best with 
what is available.

Thanks,
Jonathan
