I'm using Carrara 6 Pro, and the hand book is for Carrara 5.

Okay, we are in the Assembly room, the tutorial is saying:

"...click once between the first key frame and the last key frame on the time line for the fan group; notice it turns yellow. (Nothing turned yellow mind you) In the Properties Tray, Carrara displays the properties for the Tweeners..."

Don't see that ether. What I see is posted above. 

Is it me, or do I need to buy the same hallucinogens the author is using?
