A more general question:
Some variables have easy to understand names (such as "b_scores"), or it's easy to understand what they are when you print them (such as "ans"...).  But many are undecipherable.
Could you please give a detailed breakdown of the (at least the more important) variables, their names, and what they contain?

Thanks!

most variables are only for internal use. please tell me which variables that you are looking for.

Generally, the variables that are needed for the user when she/he needs to extract/calculate values of any statistic.
Another case is when one wants to recreate PLS graphs in excel or such (nicer looking graphs...), such as means and standard errors - the PLS-GUI display does not output those (there's an idea for you to include in the GUI display!)

the result file may not contain the variables that you ask for.

it's better to be specific, so i know which variable you ask for.
