Get together the constituents of the gesture -- animations, sound, and (if you must) ascii art.

Go to your inventory. Select Create>>Gesture. Name it something short and appropriate.

Look a the default gesture components in the bottom right. See how they are arranged.

Now remove them by selecting them and then hitting the remove button in the middle. Unless you want a gesture that waves and says "Hello, Avatar."

Now build the new gesture. Select animation, hit add, then select the animation in your inventory that you want to use. Select sound, hit add, then select the sound. You can stack animation and use waits to space things.

Assign shortcuts to the animation and make it active.

I've probably missed something, but you should be able to fool around a bit and figure things out.
