Visit the list's home page:
<http://lists.satimage-software.com:20080/mailman/listinfo/sul>
or directly send an e-mail to <[log in to unmask]>.
All information about Smile Users List is at:

The "tag" may not be needed in a first approach, it's documented in
the latest release notes:
<http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/releasesmilex_30.html> (click
"Interface and interface customization"), it proves useful when your
dialog really gets complicated.
"auto tag" may be useful even for beginners: when checked, the
control's value is automatically saved when you close the dialog.

(Note that, by special permission, in Smile you can say for instance
"item X of the dialog" instead of "dialog item blah".)
You said the syntax: if you named a control "fred" in the Control
Dialog, then you can refer it as: dialog item "fred" of theDialog
(or, item "fred" etc.)
Or, you can refer by index (the numbers that you see when the dialog
is in edit mode): dialog item 4 of theDialog.
This is part of the object model, that Smile implements quite
beautifully. We document that at:
<http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/referencing_objects.html>
Dialogs themselves are documented at:
<http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/custom_dialogs.html>
