How to add tools to t3d-bones project?

Hello everyone!
A couple of days back I came across the t3d-bones framework. It was wonderful to see a minimalist approach in an otherwise enormous project (the templates). I feel that it does a good job at explaining the t3d startup sequence. My only gripe is the tools. In the other projects, I see that there is a tools folder. But where are they called upon from torquescript? If I want to add tools (f11) to a t3d-bones template, how should I do it?
Thanks
PS. Also I think it'll be great to have more tutorials on the startup sequence, so beginners know exactly what the engine is doing, what scripts are being called and when they're called.

Ok, theoretically you should be able to add the tools folder to the root of your game project and then add this in the top level main.cs:// around line 34
exec("./tools/main.cs");Then just chase console errors....

Whenever it complains about a missing function, just find it in the original codebase and copy it in. As I remember it, it were pretty trivial work.. But IIRC, Buckmaster is already working on this issue :) He might have a better entry point.
