Student Questions--Please Help!

Hello,
I've asked a few questions on here before, but our school is still very new at using this game, so we are just learning the basics. Here are a few questions my students have that they would like to be able to do:

--How do you move and create respawn points? Can you use the command line to move or select the spawn?
--How do you allow the characters to talk? We've looked at the help section and reviewed the answers on this, but after opening the savetheprincess.cfg in wordpad, we aren't sure what to do??
--How do you add music? Again, we've read the help section and FAQ regarding this issue, but the students were a little confused by it. Are there easier instructions??

Thanks so much for your help!
Mrs. Rusk

#1 in the menu under editing gui they are on the right. Start with being in edit mode and select where you want to place them and then go into the menu and select the entity. To move them click on the entity in edit mode and drag them.
#2 Do you have the text wordwrapped? Wordpad can really mess up scripts, I recommended notepad++ its free (and no not notepad, ever)
#3 in the map script it is just music musicsongname The music needs to be placed in the /packages/music folder. If you make a directory for the music you need to make sure to include that in the script so music mynewfolder/songname

I hope some day you elaborate on the class and program and how it is going. It sounds very interesting. Take care and have a good day!
