Well what I meant was, what if I was in another scene and wanted to import that sim sequence?

 

Nice workaround, I think why it didn't work before was that I opened ptp files from another scene enitirely and tried to apply ptype presets.  Do you have to import the original cloud and emitters to get it to see a ptype?

The only workaround that seems to put the world back in ballance is to use a particle player. 
Cache the particles to file.  Keep the cloud in the scene and use a particle player to play the cache.  Hide and/or mute the original cloud. 

Even if you're just testing things it's easy enough to swap visibility between the two.  I think great things are on the horizon with XSI but for now that's a decent work around.
