Little things noted in playing around with inSTREAM GUI:
a) On Summary tab, we're using italics inconsistently. E.g., at "Parameters varied in experiment and their values": "their values" is in italics. How about: only text that varies depending on the project and experiment is italicized. In general, that is stuff to the right of a colon.

b) Change the name of the built-in project from "InstreamInput" to "ExampleProject" or "inSTREAMExampleProject"

c) Can we avoid packaging metadata and help files for inSALMO in the inSTREAM gui? (I need an update on where we are with using the same GUI code for both models.)

d) Insert the help files for inSTREAM, replacing the inSALMO ones.

e) I messed up the metadata for trout parameter reddNewLengthStd. Range of recommended values should be 0, 2 instead of 2, 8.

f) In Model.Setup, some of the boolean parameters have values of YES or NO, and others (appendFiles, shuffleYears, shuffleYearReplace) have values of 0 or 1. They should be consistent-- All YES - NO, I presume. (Can you explain to me exactly how C booleans work???) (We use YES / NO in Observer.Setup.)

g) I set up an experiment that had a mistake in it: I left Number of Scenarios at 1. Normally the GUI catches the error when you start the experiment. But when I started the run without first saving the project, it asked me if I wanted to save and then run the project. I did, and the experiment started. In this situation, the error seems to be caught when the project is saved, but the experiment starts. What's up with Number of Scenarios-- is it now calculated by the GUI, so the input value is ignored? (I ran it once with a completely wrong num scenarios and the code ran.)

h) I see the icon now has a black background instead of transparent. Did you change it or did I?
