I made an adjustment to the description of LWing's guide, hope you don't mind

No problemo -

The thing is, we could go crazy with it, like "including how to rotate objects, how to export hmaps, how to import land maps, how to draw an AI line, how to delete objects, how to save a track, how to click a button", etc.. etc... LOL. See what I mean LOL? I mean a FAQ for newbies is just that, a FAQ... no need for further explaination -

I'm just tired of the rotation question, though. It pops up every week!

That's what a virtual "slap upside the head" is used for LOL -
