Hi Johannes... let me see if I understand:

Here's where I am confused.  Right now I have my SELECT statements in my 
extension's main PHP-script (through TYPO3's DB API).  But if I am 
reading you correctly, I should be choosing WHAT records to display 
using Typoscript, and only using the PHP to specify HOW to display those 
records.

Is that right?  If so, what are the circumstances where you're supposed 
to use the DB API?

Thanks for all your help!!
