Does anyone know what these parameters are for?
I asked Google and the Forum search box, and they're both stumped. Seems that the internet knows more more about what's inside a black hole than those settings in Virtuemart.
I assumed they were meant to control the number of products on a category page, but they're having no effect on my site. Is there another way to control the number of products on a category page? I'm showing 10, I'd like to show 12.

Also, does anyone know if a comprehensive Virtuemart 2.0 manual exists? I would gladly pay for one.

danivers,
Hi I presume the limits are set by your template -
* in the last few months - "tumber" clients wanted the unlimited scrolling bar .
so you could go down for ever - here The width and the height are set for a certain limit_ height . Maybe in the template you might be able to extend the height?
The others are related to how the computer searches for items listed under its category - '0' really means there are no limits set. - I am happy to be corrected.

These are a little tricky because VirtueMart picks up defaults from one box or another - Example, if you set the DEFAULT NUMBER OF PRODUCTS PER ROW to 3, VM2 uses this number in Category Form Limit List Step:
CATEGORY FORM LIMIT LIST START: This changes the top right RESULTS drop-down number that the shopper can select to jump forward. Leave at 0 to let VirtueMart choose this number for you.
CATEGORY FORM LIMIT LIST STEP: How many items you want to appear on the page. Note that other settings or the template can over-ride this. Leave at 0 to let VirtueMart choose this number for you.
CATEGORY FORM LIMIT LIST MAX: The total number of pages you want to appear in the top right RESULTS drop-down box. Note that other settings or the template can over-ride this. Leave at 0 to let VirtueMart choose this number for you.
CATEGORY FORM INITIAL DISPLAY RECORDS: How many rows are displayed on the page initially. The shopper can change this by selecting a different number from the top right RESULTS drop-down box.
To answer your second question, my ADMIN USER Manual to VM2 will be published in a few days: http://oscmanuals.com/virtuemart-user-manual-with-free-install-quick-setup-guides-p-209.html
