Aye, extremely counter-intuitive and very confusing for the first time user.
It took me 2 days to figure out that I /wasn't/ going insane and that I didn't
have some crazy, old deprecated version of EJX. Alas, I finally figured out
the trick and the steps that I had to go through to get some use out of the
tool. Its now very handy :).
Someone should probably write up a document about this.. maybe an EJX first
time user's guide?
