As I have posted, I am learning the fine art of DMOD creation. From what I read, I downloaded WinDinkEdit to make my DMOD. I threw a couple stones on tile 400 as well as modified the intro screen. I was giddy when I ran it. There was my Dink walking around stones I placed there! Anyway. 
WinDinkEdit doesn't seem to be very user-intuitive. I am NOT the kind of person that usually needs a manual to figure out a piece of software, but this one is killing me. For instance, I'll hit the 'e' key to get into sprite mode. I'll pick a kind of sprite, say a stone, and I get a screen with several to choose from. When I go back to the sprite mode, I get the stones again and can't get back to the main sprite selection screen. I have hit 'Ctrl+number key' and got different background tile selections, but the other sprites such as fences and people don't want to reappear. Is there a manual on WinDinkEdit? Better question: is WDE the best editor to even be using? Is there a better one? What's it called? Where is it? Many TIA! Oh, I have a preliminary name of Life As Dink Smallwood (LADS) for this DMOD. Thanx!
