typep(out) : hash, id->type, where ``type'' contains the extension of the file, thus, problem exam quiz assess survey form.
keyp (out) : hash, id->key list, will contain a comma separated list of the meta-data keys available for the given id
allparms (out) : hash, name of parameter->display value (what is the display value?)
allparts (out) : hash, part identification->text representation of part, where the text representation is ``[Part $part]''

psprt: ParameterS PaRTs? a list of the parts of a problem that we are displaying? Used to display only selected parts?
@catmarker contains list of all possible parameters including part #s
$fullkeyp contains the full part/id # for the extraction of proper parameters
$tempkeyp contains part 0 only (no ids - ie, subparts) When storing information, store as part 0 When requesting information, request from full part
