On the Applet page there is still a link 'tutorial' near the bottom of the page. It actually is a link to a Wizard page of yours, in the 'Tools' menu as well (I thought it had some advice on ID generation, too, at the top of the Wizard page):

Well that is a link in the paragraph about generating GAME code. So when your only problem is how to create an Interactive Diagram, you would not even read that paragraph.

What would your advice be to someone that came to you saying "I have given up taking driving lessons, driving is way too hard for me. The math used for those orbital mechanics is way over my head, and I can never learn to recognize these hundred different sizes of bolts"? I would tell him to stop reading the "Space-Shuttle Maintenance manual for Engineers", and focus on the text "Car driving in three easy steps"...

The GAME-code tutorial explains how to program in GAME code, in an easier way than doing it from scratch. It has nothing to do with creating Interactive Diagrams; it contains zero information on how to do that.

That you cannot see the scroll bar is a serious problem; it means the page has to be formatted differently. Is there also no horizontal scroll bar on the table? I remember I once had that problem too, but it disappeared when I replaced some of the very long move strings (which could be shortened due to improvements on XBetza notation). There is something fishy here, as the table is displayed in a window that is supposed to automatically provide scroll bars when what is in it gets too large (style overflow:auto). I usually scroll the window by means of the mouse wheel, though. That works even if you cannot see the scroll bar.
