I'm saying the first one, yes.  I didn't understand what you mean by the 
second one, so I can't say for sure, but I think my answer is yes for 
that one as well.

For the second question, if I do a PUT from a local window memory to a 
remote window memory, it is a load on the local window memory.  This is 
based on the MPI-3 standard page 436 lines 29-30 (though it says 
MPI_SEND, I think it is valid for MPI_PUT as well).
