[Opensim-users] save/load xml region

[matt raffel]

Paul

I was just learning about this method myself.  Hope I got this right.

When you use load-tile you have to be in root.   You specify the lower 
left grid as the starting point in your command.  So in your map, 1000 
1000 is the bottom left region.   1001, 1000 and 1000, 1001 and 1001, 
1001 all get updated from the map since your map is 512x512.
