I've forgotten most of what I knew in Trainz - need memory help on sessions

I gave up on Trainz several years ago because I couldn't deal with Speed Trees. I lost interest completely. Now I've returned and would like to get back to creating sessions the way I used to do it. Problem is - I can't remember how I would set up a session! I've drawn a complete blank.

When I entered a driver session before, the bottom of the screen contained all my driver commands - for example: wait for 30 secs, go to coal loader, load coal, drive to coal dump, unload coal, drive to coal loader, stop.

A simple session for sure. How did I set up the session? There's no way to do it in Surveyor so that when I load the session in Driver, all those commands appear at the bottom of the screen, all ready to go. Now I can find no way to set these commands up so that they appear in the session when I load it.

I was really good at setting up complicated sessions, and I seem to remember doing them in Surveyor.

Perhaps I can't remember because I'm 103 years old and my memory has rotted away!
 
In surveyor, Top left hand side you have Menu, then Quick Drive Icon, then Edit Session Rules icon, which is the one you need.
 
N3V has this video tutorial on session creation that might be helpful.

It does appear that the video would be helpful, but it's offline until Monday. Thanks for the tip. I will be up early Monday morning to check it out.

AND - I neglected to state that I'm running Trainz Android on a tablet, I didn't want to spend $$$$$$ on a super gaming PC because I'm not into any games. Android is much the same as the Windows version except one goes about everything a bit differently. Nonetheless, it's pretty intuitive.

The menu at the top left corner of Surveyor does not have the same choices as you mentioned "clam1952." Perhaps Android doesn't provide the option I'm looking for. Thanks for the help. I'll figure it out if the option is available. You sent me in the right direction. Thanks.

No clue why you think that video on YouTube is not available till Monday as it is working perfectly fine right now. No need to wait till Monday, just click play ;).
