controlPanel is an instance variable that would be inherited from
the Observer GUISwarm.  It doesn't really make sense to use it 
in a parameters class.

A ProbeMap is a filter associated with a class.  Sometimes when
you have a very complex [agent] class you don't want to get a probe
display with a bunch of uninteresting information on the screen.  A ProbeMap
lets you name the variables that interest you.

The macro that Rick mentioned (CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY) accomplishes
two things 1) it makes a ProbeDisplay per any associated ProbeMap, or
otherwise just the variables, and 2) tells Swarm to take note of where you
positioned the widget on the screen if you should press `save'.

DS> 2.  What do I need for the controlPanel to work?

Typically, some kind of ObserverSwarm.
