Great document John! What does "Indirect Text Widget" mean?

An "Indirect Text Widget" is a text widget that points to a database variable that holds a string ID. Database variables such as DiagnosticStringId (the actual text for the DM message) or DeviceNameId are populated by the DMapp application. By default, the Text Widget is of Type Multi (second property in the properties list). Type is a pulldown with either Multi or Indirect as possibilities.

I will add this explanation to the document.
