Introduction: added info about selection focus.

 A Group is a convenient way to form a temporary collection of map objects. Perhaps you want to move them together to one place, go do something else, then come back and move them further, without having to redefine the collection by re-selection. This method of grouping affects only DR, not the game (i.e., not the .map file). "Temporarily" can be as long as you like and you find convenient, since there’s no performance implications. As befits the temporary concept, Groups are anonymous, i.e., unnamable.
 Unlike other types of component manipulation in DR, you can’t directly pick out a particular Group element to select. Instead, you’ll need to first Ungroup, work with the particular element, and then (as desired) re-Group.
 TIP: This process can be often sped up by careful use of "Hide Deselected" then "Unhide all".
