As I recall the .api files were used by WOBuilder to indicate the component's bindings, including data types, required/optional, etc. This was really useful for reusable components.
And editing the components on the fly... that takes me back. My first WO app was originally written in WebScript, where the layout AND the logic could be edited on the fly!

I just seem to recall the old Apple documentation placed alot of emphasis on writing your business logic once, building once, then editing your components to suite your needs. But I could be wrong, I haven't
read that stuff in years.

If anyone ever did that to a deployed app, it was not a very good practice.
