If you download the latest stable release then you'll find most of that stuff in the help files, so you won't have to figure it out all by yourself
There's also a wiki here that contains useful information

Yes; the help file is very detailed when it comes to the list of effects & the use of the tracker as it stands.

If you feel the need for any changes, though, you can always decompile the CHM file, modify the HTML pages & recompile it back.

I use HTM2CHM 3.0.9 for creating/decompiling/recompiling help files:

It's free to use, but I'm sure people who have greater knowledge of their own IDEs already have better ways of creating help files.

jsr: It's funny because everytime I try to load the Help file, it says "Failed to Launch Help". Just saying...

I don't read compiled HTML files unless I have to. I compiled this for people who don't/can't read compiled HTML help files.

True. Then again, Linux users can always use arCHMage, gnochm, kchmviewer & many other CHM file readers (& that's ignoring the Firefox CHM Reader add-on, since most Linux distros come pre-packed with Firefox). Also, arCHMage can decompile CHMs to their base HTML (& HTML is readable by ALL operating systems; you can even use Arachne or Lynx under MS-DOS).

That said, you don't even have to rely on the file being compiled; it's nothing more than a bunch of HTML files that are embedded inside a special executable container. Decompile it & you get 100% pure HTML files (which all OSes can read... Even DOS).
