 ===== Name List Editor =====
+This is the name list editor. The name list is used to create model and component unit names in the game. It may also in the future be used to create new companies as well.
+\\
+\\
+==== Files and How It Works ====
+When the game is launched, it reads the NameList.txt file. Each new line is an entry into the list. When a name is needed, the game will select a name at random from the list.
+\\
+\\
+====  The Editor ====
+This is the Name List Editor. It is fairly straight forward, but we'll go ahead and walk you through it.

+==== Troubleshooting ====
+=== Names Are Not Showing Up In Game ===
+Be sure you saved the list in a place that the game can use them. Either with the default files or loaded with your mod file.
