questions about JKL/Spec items to CA/Alexei

I'm trying to parse a JKL file but having some slight dificulity in a couple of sections.

First: The section of World Texture Vertices. What exactly are Texture Vertices? and what do the "u" and "v" texture coordinates mean? Looking at sample JKL files really doesn't give any additional light to the matter.

Second: In the World Materials section, what are the numbers after the MAT? I've seen all 1's, are they determined by some means?

Third: In general where you have "0.323440" or "-5.3342344" what datatype/range should be used for these numbers. For example, in the world vertices the specs show sample data at "-5.200000". But in a sample level created by JED, I see numbers like "-0.009090909". And in the Texture Vertices section on the sample level, I'm seeing numbers like "-4.92E-16". Can you shed some light here?

Fourth and last: In JED under the tools menu there is the option to Caculate Lighting. What is this actually doing to the JKL file? Is caculating light intensities from light in the level and filling in the "intensities" fields for the surface? Could you reveal what algorithm you are using to do this?

Thanks so much for the time.
