Thanks, Kreegle. i didn't know if it qualified to be in the editors section, but thought I'd send it in order not to get lost.
Btw, tremendous job on beautyfication. It's a lot prettier than when I was writing it.

Also for anyone interested, I got to understand the bounding box details better since, so here's a little update:

Now the most difficult part: You have to make a proper bounding box for
the tile. Choose Rendering->Bounding Box from the menu. In the bounding box area
replace the 0(zero's) with 5. That should create a small bounding box surrounding your tile/ Close to your tile. To put your tile inside the box select the "picture" button under the Edit command and start moving it with the mouse cursor.
Once it is in, you can replace 5 with whatever number surrounds the tile
better. Use the zoom feature if you have to. Normally, you shouldn't have to put a number higher than 3(zoom levels) there.

You can use the A,W,D and S keys to "fine tune" the bounding box as sometimes it can get a bit tedeous to center it properly with the mouse...

Yes, sorry. I tend to neglect readme's-bas habbit.
In fact I have a record of your 15 last releases, I managed to file it in a way I can distinguish, so it should be easy, but usually I tend to preoccupy myself with many stuff simoultaneously, so...
Anyway, my loss, I tend to make it harder for me. Note to self: read readme's...
