Very basic: coloring a brand new cubic prim??

I'm using "Second Life for Dummies". I know how to move and rotate things using edit. I want to learn how to color a prim. Pretty simple, huh? No. The book (pg 207) gives me 5 steps to color a prim. 1. Right click a prim and choose Edit.(I do that and the edit tool appears.) 2.Click the More button. ALERT-UGH-GRIEF: Therre isn't any More button anyway in the Edit window, or elsewhere. o I go to the next step: 3. Click the Texture tab.

By this time the prim is a yellow color, and when I proceed to choose a pale blue for the prim, I ge a pale green color on the prim, as if it has mixed the yellow with the blue.

Can someone help. Please? And THANKS.

there are 2 boxes in the texture tab. One for a texture and one to change color.

If the TEXTURE box has a yellow texture in it and you choose blue in the COLOR box you will likely get a mix ie green.

If you just want BLUE you need to click the TEXTURE box and then click the BLANK button. The choose BLUE in the COLOR box

I think they might have finally gotten rid of the "more" button.

If you ever need to get rid of a color on a prim, select the white to blank it out again. You can also click on the texture window and blank out the wood texture.
