Grace developers:
Grace is great for leading the neophyte MSP430 programmer through the plethora of fiddly settings necessary to get the MCU started in the right state. Almost allows one to proceed without 13 fingers (do you have that many?) holding places in the device datasheet....
...except for the port select bits on the port register setup panels. Then it wimps out and says: "See the device datasheet" for details. This is precisely where it would be useful to have an informative popup on options for the pin. Grace already knows some of this info, because you check for conflicting uses of the associated port pin (e.g., a popup that says "This port select bit was forced to 1 by the USCI_A0 setup."). As a minimum, you should have a live link to the section of the datasheet (which can be done with PDF docs) or a text hint: "See section 5.3.1" (easier if your datasheets have a standard outline).
TIA,
Mike
