I recently downloaded, and installed shim on a debian box.

Everything connects and works, and I get some output to a file when I 
run it. (See below).

Anyway, it is a mystery to me which symbol this is for, and where I 
can change it.  I have to say, the documentation for the product with 
respect to actually getting data, is a little thin, and seems to boil 
down to a couple of lines about how important it is to understand the 
schema, and two tables in particular - I have looked  at these, but 
failed to find an obvious correlation with the above data.

Sorry to request the obvious, but could someone please walk me 
through the steps of figuring out where this data is from, and how I 
can configure shim to make changes.

In simple terms, I want to be able get both historical and real time 
data, and ideally, to populate a database table with this.  Would 
love to hear from someone who is successfully up and running with this too.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
