I suppose you are referring to the submission page with a provision for diagrams? I have not really considered what would be needed to edit an existing submission that contains a Diagram. I suppose this would be hard, as the final product of this is the HTML code for the diagram in the Setup section. I suppose I could peel that out (in case other text was added to that section), and treat it like it was pasted in the Play-Test Applet. This would limit the piece table to the pieces in the diagram, though, so you could not add additional pieces. So it would not provide full editing capability.

Actually, no; I was referring to pasting a diagram's definitions on the new-version Applet page, and then editing it to include a Capture Matrix.I have all the pieces in place, so that's not an issue.

As to writing out the captureMatrix manually, I'll give it a shot. (The explanation in the article is OK, but I'd prefer an example so I can feel confident in getting it right.) Because of the single-letter issue, I'll write it out with the comma-delimited feature you mentioned and wait for you to implement that before giving Short Sliders its Diagram.
