PCGen tutorials?

[soggybag]

I just started using PCGen. Looks like a great application. But I'm having trouble figuring out a few things.

For example, I want to create a new character, how do you move stats around? for example I want swap Int and Str.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial for PCGen somewhere on the web?

Tutorials are built into the Help.

Startup PCGen, Control-F1 (brings up help in web browser), Click on "Character Creation Walkthrough"

Do they have a trouble-shoot section? I have a laptop with Vista and I cannot even get PCGen to turn on, let alone work. It had apparently did that with my last computer though I had Windows XP.

In the folder that you put PCGen, look in Docs and bring index.html up in your browser. FAQ, then "Out of Memory and Java Issues". There is information on Vista in that section. As an FYI, I am running Vista and I put it under My Documents instead of under Files because of the UAC.

BTW, on the summary tab the first column is a free text field. you can just type the values in.
