Once the sequencing of a command file starts, do I lose manual control of my engines and switches? Can I still operate my Marklin digital boxes or control these items from within TPL?

With TPL (unlike some other programs), you always retain control. Even while a command file is executing, you can still operate your attached Keyboards and Control 80’s. But that’s not all, you can still operate the “virtual” TPL keyboards (all 16 of them) and control all your digital engines on your layout from any TPL screen, including the window you create with a schematic of your layout. As far as the Central Unit (Control Unit) is concerned, TPL is just another Control 80f. This just means that both TPL and your “real” Control 80 can’t both take control of a single engine at the same time. Other than that, there are no restrictions on how you control everything.
