Just getting into MP5 in live, but how-to?

Hi all,
Have mercy on me, first post..
I just got into the Ms Pinky club two nights ago, and I'm really awestruck by the completeness of this system! I was just looking for a cheap way of getting into timecode playing (been a long time Traktor user, but the upgrade policy from traktor to traktor scratch was just too much of a deal-breaker), but now it seems that I got a lot more than I'd ever hoped for
But yes, what I really wanted to ask is for some info on various things regarding the MP5 system and the Max/M4L side in particular.
Is there some in-depth reference documentation somewhere for the supplied max & msp externals somewhere? I'd like to know every possible message that you can send to uiwaveform and the ???360 object (the spinning pink disc thing) at least. I'm used to figuring things out in Max from the helpfiles, but the objects don't come with any (?)
Another thing that has me puzzled - When I installed the M4L version, I am missing the numbers from the time displays.. something I didn't put into the right folder perhaps? Or is it just my Ableton colourscheme (using a custom one)?
EDIT: Sussed out the not expanding uiwaveform.. If a sample is loaded the uiwaveform will not expand :p So please disregard that last one
TIA for any assistance - Ms Pinky is a damn fine system!!
Cheers
