WebPlus X6: sliders???? Help,please !!!

Hi,

I've been using Web plus since the dark ages. But I haven't used it recently since X4. I want to use the new Panels and sliders features. I've looked at the tutorials, but try as I might I can't seem to get a grip on it. I must be missing something fundamental but I don't know what

Here are some of my questions:

1- Is there any way to insert a blank slider directly from WPx6 or do I have to bring it in from an already existing one and then (de/re)-construct it to my liking

2- How do I insert new panels into the slider??? can I use drag and drop? How do I order them??

3- from looking at the forums it appears that Jscript ios somehow involved is that a prerequisite for using sliders?

4- Is there any good documentation detailing all this somewhere???

I'll have a million more questions beyond these, but this seems like a good place to start.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck
