That is the for-dummies version. You just type exactly what it says to type. Following directions is something they covered in ... What? First grade? Earlier?

The hard version is by decoding an existing town-names GRF and trying to puzzle out what all the bits and bobs mean.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.
