That's a silly thing to say, you have to start somewhere

If there are any questions - thats what the forums is for I'm sure all the PUI users here can help if its not a bug related problem.
I'm sure my problem stems from me doing something wrong, I have no question there. In re-reading my post I realize I could have worded it more politely but I was rather annoyed at the time. For that, I apologize.

My intentions of this post were to point out that for someone who isn't familiar with how to install mods for this game, the documentation is lacking. It's not the 'how do I extract an archive' type of problem, but rather incomplete documentation with assumed knowledge.

I have been using Profit since ver 2.6 & I think its the best UI I've ever come across & it works seamlessly with EQ2MAP & POI.
That's exactly why I want to check it out!! I hear great things about it. I figured I'd start with the broker panel and go from there.

I thought my issues were conveyed in my original post. In case I was unclear I'd like to know how to install the Market Window portion of Profit UI.

-Where do the contents get extracted to? the root of the EQ2 folder? In the UI subfolder?
-How do I tell eq2 the mod is there, do I have to modify the eq2.ini file? (eq2interface.com said I needed to, but your instructions didn't mention it)
-Do i need to modify the .xml file, if so which one? the one in \ui\default? The one in \<market window dir>?
-If I'm modifying the .xml file in \ui\default do I need to remove the one that gets extracted with the market panel mod?
-Anything else I should know, or more importantly any other references I should read to familiarize myself with what I should/shouldn't be doing in regards to eq2 mods?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it

EDIT: I overlooked it initially, but I now see you pointing me to the FAQ for eq2interface.com. I'll give those a whirl and see what comes of it.
