A W questions

Ouch, yep its a lil different.

There are 2 modes to place commands in aw: With the Command Box or With hotkeys. Both modes are mutually exclusive.

If the Command Box is enabled, then if you left click on a unit it brings up a list of commands and that's how you do stuff with the CB enabled.

If its disabled, then you can use Hotkeys in place of the command box (M is for movement).
If the command takes, you should see a red arrow on the board, if not, look down on the status bar at the bottom of the game window and it may indicate why.
