> when can i find the .shp editor???

if you want more advanced editing, you might want to right-click on the shp file in XCC Mixer, then select 'extract to PCX'- this places a lot of PCX files in the XCC directory. Now you can edit these in almost any graphics editor, and then rebuild a SHP file by right-clicking on a PCX file in XCC Mixer and selecting 'copy as VXL'

* maybe those right-click menu descriptions are wrong, but the right choice should be obvious
