Thanks Dan. I'll look into the files you suggested.
I've been in this same fruitless search for documentation on ACS 4.x in general, and it can be very frustrating. And I agree with you that some of the terms are not intuitive.
Especifically, it was hard for me to visualize how the whole system worked together. parties, groups, membership, composition, relationship, etc. Anybody else has comments on this?
