Outline view

Thanks to posts here, but especially to the blog (http://wdsc.wordpress.com/), I'm trying the Outline view for the first time. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and snicker. I've been using the spooled file compiler listing all this time. Anyway, I'm ashamed to say that I have been ignoring discussions of the Outline view because I haven't been using it. I looked in the archives, help and Windows->Preferences and didn't see how to adjust any settings, so I'll ask here with an apology if I skipped an earlier answer. 

I'm looking at an SQLRPGLE source member.  I'm FETCHing into a qualified DS.
1) The Outline view doesn't show any references to some members of that DS, probably because they're referred to only by the precompiler. Is there a setting for that?
2) What do the line numbers mean in the Outline view? They neither match the Lpex line numbers in the edit window, nor do they match the compiler listing line numbers. Not crucial since clicking on a line takes you there. (That's interesting behaviour that I might want to tap into with a plug-in!)
3) Is there a way to get the Outline view to recognise the columns used in the DECLARE ... CURSOR? For instance, DECLARE CURSOR FOR SELECT NAME FROM MYTABLE. 'NAME' doesn't show in the Outline view. Of course, it doesn't show in the compiler cross reference either, but a guy can always hope can't he? :-) 

This is a nifty thing.  Need to use it more.  Nice job!
