That''s a good question, and I''ll let someone else handle it as I leave work tonight. However, I might recommend probably starting up one thread on the mailing list and asking your questions in there. Will be easier to keep track of them if they are all in one place. Thanks!

what kind of value do you need?
you can set :params => {:key => :value} and read them in your
controller.
