Unfortunately, no documentation is available yet. I've replied separately (because of its size) with a description of the schedulers and will use that reply as a basis for some on line documentation. In the meanwhile if others are interested I can send them a copy of the description.

Thanks. Give me some time to go through it. ;-) I hope you don't mind if I possibly still have some dumb questions...
