I have since figured most of this part out by playing with it in the admin >
items > options section then displaying the results in spread sheet form. I
found this would give me an example of what to enter into options tab of the
template.xls sheet. Also not I chose matrix, separate widgets, but doing it
this way you can
figure out most any combination by playing with it. I hope this helps
someone else just starting out with interchange like myself . Also note to
display the columns below correctly set your screen resolution to 1024 X 768
Minimum and display the message full screen.

code    sku       o_enable     o_matrix     o_modular    o_group    o_label
o_value                                  o_widget     o_master     price
description
0025    0024    1                    1
select                            41.00    vanilla-0025
0026    0024    1                    1
select                            41.00    chocolate-0026
0024    0024
flavor        flavor      VAN=Vanilla, CHK=Chocolate   select
