I can't seem to begin new threads, so I will have to ask some new
questions in old threads.
Here is one. I would like to view different channels (like
"Reflection") in the viewport. Can this be done? I have tried several
ways but I can't seem to get anything but the standard render.

It can be done but you must have some kind of post processing setup.
See for example in the manual chapter 9 : Post effects -> Post Shading. It
involves use of the Capture Channel shader and the evaluate_shading post
effect.
If any extra channels are available, they show up in RMB View window menu ->
Render, as a list at the bottom of the menu.
There are ways to render reflection, specularity etc to separate layers in a
file. very advanced stuff, I still haven't got around it all myself.
