then some of the things mentioned in this file might not apply.

Each level consists of the following:

* Level title: Push CTRL+T to edit it. It may contain one or more lines of
text and may contain formatting codes too. During the game, CTRL+T will
display this text (which you can use for whatever purposes you want to:
the author's name, commentary, hints, etc).

the Density variable of the class; see class.doc for details).

* Objects: The level contains objects, each of which is at a specific
position in either of the two worlds; see below for more about objects.

Of the above, the level title, order number, ID number, and version number
have no effect on the game rules; class codes cannot access them.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Saving the levels here will only save them in the user
cache database, not to the puzzle set file. To save them to the puzzle
set file, you must invoke heromesh -f to flush the user cache.


=== Object placement/MRU ===

On the left side of the screen is the MRU list. Each MRU consists of a
class, image of that class, Misc values, and Dir value. If the Misc values
are not all zero, then * is displayed next to the MRU icon.
