I noticed that the example data type data type property enumerations does not include the vector, only long and string.  The vector is still defined in other parts of the source.  These seems like an inconsistency in the source.  Can you please explain?

Yes. But it just means that there's no "DEFAULTVECTOR" property. Extending it to do so would be a good exercise... :-)

Are the default properties suppsoed to set initial values for those parameters?  I noticed that the SDK exampledatatype sets values for the long = 1 and string = "Hallo World".  The default values do not apply when a new user data exampledatatype is created on an object. Would this be incorrect behaviour? Bare with me, I am catching up, just a little thick sometimes.
