  I use field 1 for the part number (ie Mouser or Digi-Key part number) and 
field 2 i 
use for the cost.  This makes is easy to produce a BOM.  Don't know how to set 
a 
default value.  If I create a new resistor or capacitor or transistor, I 
normally modify 
an existing part and save with a new name.
