Sorry, but I never really understood the big [Master] button and the faders below other than they should both be up to run cues with the button. The manual doesn't have much to say either. My Bad!

The "the big [Master] button and the faders below" called the "master playback fader pair", part of the "Master Playback Controls".
There is a short video that shows one thing that can be done with them.
The video is here: www.youtube.com/watch
Sorry, I was using the wrong manual above. I've now switched the manual to the one I think you and John are using (as this one covers the Element 2 more accurately).
I'm referring to the manual that says on the front:
Eos Family
(Eos Ti, Eos, Gio, Gio @5, Ion Xe, Ion Xe 20, and Element 2)
Operations Manual
Version 2.7.2
Part Number: 4250M1210-2.7.2 Rev A

"I 'm really looking for something simpler. For example, if I have recorded several cues in the ELE2 they're in a list right? So can I assume then that on starting, the 1st cue gets loaded into the left fader and 2nd into right . Then after a GO cue 2 moves to left and cue 3 loads into right?"
No: The master is a split crossfader pair. The left fader controls the intensity upfade, while the right fader controls all intensity downfade actions. The two buttons beneath the master fader pair are [Go] (a triangle) and [Stop/Back] (a square ). The [Load] button (actually says "Master") is located directly above the fader pair.
"p.31 Tells me Where and what it is used for. (Loading cues)"
Master Playback Controls
The master playback fader pair is located to the left of the control keypad. The master is a split crossfader
pair. The two buttons beneath the master fader pair are [Go] and [Stop/Back]. The[Load] button
is located directly above the fader pair and is used to load a specified cue onto the master playback.
p.312 Refers to a "Cue List already loaded". But elsewhere it is Noted you can't load Cue lists in Element 2 master pair.
(No, you misread that, I've editing the following quotes from the manual to try to make them clearer).
Note: Element 2's cue list can only be loaded on the master playback fader pair.
The master is a split crossfader pair. (this next bit is from the Element 1 Manual: The left fader controls the intensity upfade, while the right fader controls all intensity downfade actions.)
The two buttons beneath the master fader pair are [Go] and [Stop/Back]. The [Load] button (actually labeled as [Master]) and playback display are located just above the faders.
"p.259 Not mentioned"
"p.323-324 No mention. Just one 1/4 page ending Chap 16 and p 324 is blank between chapters"
(not in my manual, the chapter ends on 325, 326 is blank).
Start reading on 323 at: "Using Manual Control" or search "Using Manual Control" if you have a different manual, the information is relevant to your question.
