I get "false" for the getgenerate command. I have both the server and GPU miner working, does this mean that something is wrong? The server has the complete block chain and 8 total connections.

Use the setgenerate true command to enable mining, if for some reason you really want to (but you probably don't). You can also add an optional third parameter for the number of CPUs to use.

By the way, impressive thread necromancy. Don't see a lot of that on these forums, most people just post new threads, but you actually used the search function. Almost warms my heart.

How does one list the accounts and addresses known to bitcoind? How does the GUI generate the account list? I can only see how to return information about a specific account or address.

The JSON-API wiki page describes all the methods: http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=api

The wiki needs a good re-organization; anybody want to volunteer to revamp the Start page?

RE: comment and comment-to : they're stored in your wallet along with the transaction, but not sent over the network. The new gettransaction and listtransactions methods will return them (as "message" and "to").

What exactly are [comment] and |comment-to] ?? I thought it was not possible to attach a comment to a transaction.

And what are the size limits ?

Jgarzik has a patch that displays the existing extended-help descriptions: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/patch-rpc-display-existing-extended-help-descriptions-637

Pastebin.ca is down so the actual patch is on his website: http://gtf.org/garzik/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-help-extended

Since I didn't find a forum post or wiki on this (I probably should add to the wiki), I've compiled a static help file, figured it would be useful for everyone here doing a lot of work with bitcoind. Some are obvious, but other's didn't have a full description.
