If I've made a mistake, please correct me.

The Option Selector element is strait forward. Each option in the list has a position and value associated with that position, with values starting at the top with 0 and increasing with each step progressing down the list. The prompts are set in the editor and are not changed or known to the controller except for the prompt's (text's) location (position value) within the option list.
So an option list can look like this in the GUI when selected:
Option Selector element:
Customer List (default text in selection box - it can be blank)
Name
Address
City
Phone Number
If no option is selected (displays "Customer List"), the optionSelector_01 value is 0 and 0 is sent to the controller.
If Name is selected, the optionSelector_01 value is 1 and 1 is sent to the controller.
If Address is selected, the optionSelector_01 value is 2 and 2 is sent to the controller.
If City is selected, the optionSelector_01 value is 3 and 3 is sent to the controller.
If Phone Number is selected, the optionSelector_01 value is 4 and 4 is sent to the controller.
The text in the Option Selector element is not sent to the controller. Only the text's relative position within the list is sent. The controller has to decide what it wants to do with the selected text's position information.

}Here is an example of testing the "Fixed String" element. I hope this gets you started.
It will display nothing in the element when no buttons are pressed. Pressing the green button will display blinking text "Green" in the element. Pressing the yellow button will display slower blinking text "Yellow" in the element. Pressing the red button will display non-blinking text "Red" in the element. Again, when no buttons are pressed, the element is cleared and is blank.
I've read where someone was thinking that they could send 'any' string to the GUI using the Fixed String element - that is not for this element. This element must have the strings pre-defined in the editor.
