If you are having issues with the tutorial it would help a lot if you could say: 1) What platform you're on 2) What stage of the tutorial you got to before it got stuck 3) How you're stuck specifically - Does the instruction window not appear at all? - Is the instruction window hidden behind another window (probably a palette)? - Is the *target* of the required action missing (eg no tools palette to drag an object from, no property inspector to change the property, no dotted-line guide to show where to place an object, no object to click/place/select)? - Is the instruction satisfied (as far as you can tell) but the tutorial has not moved on to the next step? Thanks, Ali
