Turns out when I installed the latest version, it didn't override the previous version. So a complete uninstall followed by a new re-install updated the program
But now, following the same tutorial from above, on step "13, b"
it says:
Select the star tile in the bottom pane and notice that its frameset index is #2 in the status bar.
but its not in the bottom pane. its in the top. Then "13, c" says:
In order to replace this tile with one that has a background, we'll override tile number 2: Select "New Tile" from the Tileset menu or the toolbar next to the "Mapped Tiles" dropdown box.
But there is no tileset menu. There is one called Tiles, but it doesn't have a New Tile option. Not only that, but there is no toolbar or Mapped Tiles dropdown bar. I'm afraid this step has me more than well and truly stumped.
