Paul, I cannot answer your questions because I have never tried to put something above the bar that was not AMODE(64). Moreover, I do not recommend atrempting to do so. I will, however, conduct some experiments over the coming weekend and post the results I get.
I do have a more general comment. Bertrand Russell observed long ago that No one can understand the word 'cheese' unless he has a non-linguistic acquaintance with cheese. What is going on above the bar is in some ways quite different---cleaner, neater, simpler---than what we are used to. Get some first-hand experience with it. That experience will inform and change your comments. I have been guilty of poking fun at some of the terminology used above the bar, but that should not be misunderstood. I would have named some things differently, but I have nothing but praise for the quality of the things themselves. In particular, they cohere unexpectedly well, making mostly reliable inferences about their behavior easy.
