For those of us that are thicker than the rest, if someone has the time and inclination could you put together either a short movie or screenshots showing the steps to get custom dialog Please?

I have no problem creating really beautifull maps, and placing NPC's on the map but Im completely lost when it comes to actually finding the files I need to find as well as editing them. For example you say to edit the modstring file but in artmanager my modstring file is blank.

I've imported a NPC record into my mods database but can't figure out how it attaches to a particular NPC in the editor.

Perhaps Im going about it wrong. Should I be importing the desired NPC into artmanager then placing the NPC onto the map in the editor? If so, how would I know which one it is? Is there a special section in the editors resources that will show me only those NPC's that I have imported into the artmanager mod files?

Also Im wondering if I can keep artmanager open at the same time the editor is open and just switch back and forth between them and the information will be automatically updated after a save or do I have to save in the editor and reload in the artmanager and visa versa?

Thanks,
