Known Bugs:

1) After you auto-insert something, if try and scroll 
up the document will scroll right to the top...even if
you inserted something in the middle of the document.

WORKAROUND: After you auto-insert something, make sure
you click inside the document before you use the scroll
bar.

===============================================

	to change.

	with PLAYER_EIGHT

	Tried to optimize the program to make it run
	faster.  Those on slower computers should now

===============================================
How to use this program:

This program is pretty easy to use once you get the
hang of using it.

Firstly, for those of you who are new to mapping, I
suggest you go through the mapping tutorial which
teaches you how the maps work.  This can be accessed
by going to the Help menu and clicking Mapping Tutorial.

Then, if you are having trouble using the map editor, I
suggest that you read through the Help files which
explain how to use the Map Editor. This can be accessed
by going to the Help menu and clicking Help.

After you do this, you should have a very good idea on
how to create maps with this map editor.

Also, please check out the other items in the Help menu
as there may be something there that will be able to
help you if the above items don't.
