I have been reading a lot about everyone using substrate and wound up
wondering indeed what that is.  I am currently using gravel ( mixed size) in
a 45g 40% planted tank, but I'm willing to switch to "Substrate" if it offers
benefits.  Could someone shed some light on the mysterious contents of this
substrate?

Substrate is a term that refers to the "ground" of the fishtank/pond or 
whatever. A substrate can be made up of just gravel, or combinations of
gravel and other additives. Examples of additives include - laterite, peat,
chook poo etc.
