Marc,
Sorry to "flog a dead horse", as the old saying here goes. Hope that's clear to everyone... I'm sorry if I took this all to seriously, but please understand what it's like for some of us just getting started with JMRI.
I wondered if INFERNALS was a joke, or real. I had seen other posts using INTERNALS, so thought there might be both in JMRI speak.
We're already dealing with JYTHON, which I understand is real, as is PYTHON in other places. So, when the gurus toss out terms, my first inclination is to think they are real. What's good fun for those who understand better, is just more uncertainty to those of us trying to wrap out heads around this big new thing.
I'm still wondering why Layout Editor is adding capital "i"s to the detector labels I have on my panel. For example, I enter PD03, it appears in the list as IPD03. Probably stands for INTERNAL PD03, but I've still not learned why some items get those added to their designators, while others, such as turnouts, don't. And I still don't grasp JMRI's distinction between internal and not internal. Might some be virtual in panels and others related to physical items on the layout? Not sure that's right, since detectors are on layouts.
JMRI is complicated enough without making it more confusing, however innocent the intent.
Stepping off the soapbox! (rant ends)
