Hi,

the tutorial has been updated, it should be correct for Torque 3.2-RC1. I=
=20
believe the issues you have raised have been addressed now. If you got the=
=20
time, I'd appreciate it if you could give it another try.

Of course, if anyone else feels like going at it, please do. If something=
=20
is unclear or incorrect, please send a short email to the users list.=20
If you have suggestions what could be explained better, cou can also send=
=20
a mail to the users list or use the brand new user comment links at the=20
bottom of the pages
