Hi carlos,
I do use those buttons quite a bit, and I find them incredibly useful, when the
info is present and accurate. The problem is that if I make changes, I keep
haveing to update the description, and sometimes I just forget to do so till it
is too late, lol.

Hmm, I think I will keep my current map series where you can see everything.
I would need to create a new series which would have a greater focus on
exploration as compared to combat for it to be beneficial in my opinion.
Hey Ian, another feature request, a command to view effects a unit is
affected by along with the effect description. Most of them are pretty easy,
but, for example, the hypnotize effect in my Redwall map isn't all that
obvious unless you attempt to go beyond your AP limit. Perhaps f9 could list
or toggle through all the effects on the unit currently focussed, whether
it's friendly or enemy, and read off the description? As it is, descriptions
for effects attached to units are nigh on useless, so I don't even really
type them in. I usually type in some random thing to get it over with.
Oh, by the way, question for all of you who have played my Redwall or Tomb
Robber series. Do you use the f5 and f6 keys at all? If so, is the
information you get from those keys, as well as the skill info you get swhen
using f4 on a skill, useful? If not, how could I make it useful? I ask this
question because if people use them and get their needed information out of
them, I might do away with all the skill and effect and terrain descriptions
in the user guide. THen I could spend more time in the guide talking about
maps, or game tips, or whatever, instead of dry mechanics.
