The first three fields set off by pipes are for the shim's 
use: owning process ID, seconds since midnight that the 
process stated, and elapsed seconds since start with 
microsecond resolution.  Then the next three fields set off my 
pipes are first, one of: (command, request, message, or 
commentary ); second a major categoy therein; and third a sub 
category.  This is done to aid mechanical parsing.  The 
remaining pipe delimited fields on a line until the next CR 
will vary as the contents of that sub-category vary.

The   3| indicates a major type record, here a 'message' from
 		the TWS
The |11| indicates the major class of the (here) message, and
 		particularly that a sub-type
     | 7 detail record


Scanning a ShimText, they should be obvious

Major
       1| command channel content to the shim
       2| requests                to the TWS   from the shim
       3| messages as received    from the TWS back to the shim --
       4| commentary or status messages by the shim

Samples:

|1| 2| 0|set loglevel Detail;|
|1| 5| 0|ping pre;|
|1| 2| 0|select next;|

|2|14| 1|14|1|5||||
|2| 8| 1|8|1|1||||

|3| 9| 1|1|	TWS' response on the 'select next'

|4|11| 0|# set loglevel Detail;|

 	(comment pasthroughs)


As Bill has noted in many past posts, our choices after the 
first digit are documneted and follow the equivalent Request 
or reply Messages used by the TWS, in the two Java scripts. 
Some sub-commands or sub-messages have been extended or varied 
over time as the server or client version has been advanced by 
IB.
