      Can you give me one clear example why a normal user would change any

      of these four files?

1. Because user hopefully create own graphics, arches and objects.

2. The idea is to have a open environment where even spells, scripts and
arches can
   be changed from outside without recompiling anything.

3. Because its easy to find and eliminate bugs.

4. Because a user is not a user. The real user is the "player only". The
next step is the map maker.
   The step beyond is a map maker who creates "game primitives" (like
arches, new monsters, etc.).

And the help system is in html. Hopefully at some time ppl start to add docs
there. Its a must have
to make this folder open as possible.
