1.6.0 Documentation?

I love the new features (that I can figure out) on this new version, but there are a few things I'm having problems with, most of which I'd just look up in the manual, but I can't seem to find any current documentation.
• Is that nifty new animated cursor available in the OS X version, because mine just looks like the usual arrow.
• How can I edit the spacecraft.ssc file or add cities to the U.S.? Dunno where to access those files under the new arrangement.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The documentation is supposed to be in the Celestia Wikibook.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia
Most of the new v1.6.0 features are described at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia/160Files
Please let us know what is missing from there.

Just as for the ISS, you can create an SSC file and use Modify to change values.

To add a new value, just provide it in an SSC file, or you can use the (redundant) prefix Add, which is the default.

The editing directives Modify, Add and Replace are described in the WikiBook at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia/S ... Directives

Unfortunately, there is no Delete :(

Well, I saw a few things in the Celestia Wikibook noted as "(updated for v1.5)" or "(new for v1.5)", and a subsection labeled "Features being considered for v1.6.0", but nothing more current than the "1.6.0 Changes for SSC/STC/DSC files" section.
