Thank you Phil! I'm trying to get my hands on some sample code that actually shows the usage of the DDO so I can store my values there and retrieve them. I think this is my biggest problem at present. Thanks again!

Although you will still have to create the handlers for each plp step, and the code calling the <cfa_PLP> in the first step. Just keep in mind that these are PITA tags rather than the top level Spectra tags so you don't get the nice inline tag editor in Studio but the help is still there The general idea is when you want to pass information between steps in the plp, you store it in the DDO that you created when you creates the PLP (it's an attribute of <cfa_plpcreate>). So for example, in processing step 1 of a plp, save the Form.variable_name to the Output. scope (where the DDO is stored) and then in step 2 access the variable that is stored in the Output. scope. This provides you with a place to reference information created in other steps.
