Documentation on new particles

Does anyone know if, or where there is any documentation on the new particle system ? Or does anyone know what parameters control how many points the particles are generated from ? The particles seem to be generated from random points in space, kinda spread out and I need to make them start from either one point or a much closer together cluster of points.

The 12-31-06 build at graphicall.org has a link to a video tutorial about the new particles. Not sure if it addresses your specific issue, but it’s a start.

Ah, here it is. You will need a flash viewer.

Thank you, unfortunatly Im on dial up an there doesnt seem to be a way to download the video.
