It would be nice if this topic could be dealt with in the Users
Knowledgebase.

There are only a few cases and it would be of general interest to users of
IBcontroller

I'm about to embark on the same mission.  My question goes a little 
further as I also want to update the target LMT order.  I'm going to 
try a ModifyOrder call, it looks like both stop and limit prices can 
be on the same line.  I haven't tried it yet.  I have not been able 
to find sample code either.

Also, IB website says that bracket orders aren't available for 
Forex, but I tried a bracket order for Forex and it works.
