Yes, all those specific eccoext options are visible.

They're there.

Does a FAQ, Manual or Wiki outlining these features exist? If so, where?

You bet. I am now opening Ecco using the eccoext file that I put into
my eccopro folder.
I don't know how much difference it makes but I do NOT install eccopro
to the C drive with Wine. Instead, I install the program file to the
EccoPro directory located on an NTFS formatted Apps partition and
install my data files to an Ecco directory located on an NTFS formatted
Data partition.
I have been doing that for so long, I forgot to mention it.
In this way, I access the same ecco data file from any of the Linux
systems I use and if I change OS's it doesn't matter. The active system
takes it from where-ever it left off. What I have NOT gotten working
yet is a synchronized copy to be used over a network (which I do have
running) between various computers, although I haven't put much time
into it either.
