If you right click on a name in the records window (or in the 'All' tab of the Property Dialog), you get a menu:- if the option Add Miscellaneous is then selected, a further sub-menu is presented which starts with Add Submitter and finishes with LDS.
There doesnt seem to be anything telling you about these.
Im particularly interested to know how/when to use the Add Associated Person and Add Alias options.
Could you please clarify the usage of this sub-menu, in particular the Add Associated/Alias.

Sub-menu with Add Associated/Alias usage.
As far as I know both of these features are available to provide full GedCom compatibility.
I tend to use FH's ability to give multiple name records to a person to handle the Alias side.
I have used the associated persons, in a couple of places, one is for single sex partnerships (which GedCom 5.5 does not support directly) and for persons not related directly, eg a housekeeper for a family or a farm labourer, employed by a farmer.
