> So as far at the layout file goes for simple backdrops/screens/overlays/bezels there are no changes?

Depends on what you define as "simple" and what the bezel consists of. For example the AIM65 layout has "simple" tick marks in the bezel, but it's easier to generate them with a repeat loop.

>This applies to internal .lay files or complex files that use things like the digit display or drawing rectangles and ovals?

It can be used on just about anything - screens, bitmaps, text labels, rectangles, ovals, whatever. If you need to draw more than one of them, you might benefit.

It works for internal and external layouts.

> Shortening the code for things that repeat?

Yes, it shortens the code because you don't need to write out all the repetitions - you can tell it how to generate them.
