You are correct. The M/P value can greatly modify MANY other values. So, if you
want to TRULY translate a personality created in the CM GUI, then you have to
see exactly what values are being passed to the engine (via a method that has
been described elsewhere, in which you use an engine that has logging in place
of The King and see what the GUI passes the engine).
