Are we on the right track here?

Yes, I've seen all that, but the docs are much too detailed, whereas I would prefer a very high level list. All I want to know is a short list of commands that should be seen by the LMS, including startup sequence (which looks done-ish), 2-3 commands that constitute a proper shutdown, and a loop in the middle that represents the learner going through X pieces of content. I would think this would be exactly the type of information that someone could supply off the top of their head.I will use the link to try to find a list of values that can be obtained via lmsgetvalue, though, so thank you for that.
