Thanks Jason,

No, I did not "build" anything. I just wanted to edit existing files.

Maybe the problem was that I created another set of files.

Here's the story so far.

1. Original files PzL5. org, .scn, .map => PzL5b. org, .scn, .map
2. Could not figure out how .scn maps the files together...
- it referred to OOB and Map files with a strange notation (letters and numbers, three or four digits? Sorry, have the files on another computer...)
3. Modified the PzL5.org with the OOB editor tool. Could not figure out how to add new units into existing organization.
- Ended up adding an "Independent unit" with the preferred units to the bottom.
- Opened the PzL5.org with Notepad, took the preferred unit lines from the end of file and pasted them to proper places, removing the "wrong" units from the locations they were.
- Seemed like something I figured out, and when I opened the PzL5.org again with the OOB editor it looked exactly how I wanted it to look like
4. Still at loss how to edit the PzL5.scn file, so made a copy called PzL5b.scn,
- opened with Scenario editor, removed the "wrong" units that were in the map
- added the preferred units from the Dialog box with the "place" option
5. Having deleted all extra files, it seems to work
- PzL5b.scn (a renamed copy of the original with the abovementioned changes)
- PzL5.org (original without my added new units)
- PzL5.map (original without any changes)

Is there any existing documentation as how to do this? I would be happy to do some reading and to learn it via trial and error. A pointer to some existing discussion? I am sure I am not the first one trying to learn this stuff...

"Building", do you mean I should have taken the PzL5b versions of map and org and created a new (New from File menu) scenario with the scenario editor?

Thanks, Petri
