I've been using Enums for over a year. Due to limitations of DataTable, 
I think you ran into the problem where you have to use single quotes 
instead of double:

	Enums='foo, bar, baz'

And although I've always done these in the Extras column, you could 
also put them in a dedicated Enums column:

	Enums
	'foo, bar, baz'

Yes, Geoff and I have both done work on it recently.

You can see this from browsing CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/webware/Webware/MiddleKit/Run/?sortby=date

And the individual file histories as well.


Regarding your patch, I'm not sure why you switch enums to come from 
Notes rather than Enums, but we're likely to keep it as Enums since 
Notes are strictly for that.
