I've never used 6, but in 5 you can also go to Customize > Preferences In the new window that opens go to the Gizmos tab and check to verify it is turned on...If you can't find that, just do a search in the help file for MAX. The thing I think you're referring to is called a transform gizmo..see if you can find anything on it...If you do, post it up so you can help others who have the same problem

Some other people have ran itno that error also. I don't have the problem so I am not entirely sure what is wrong with it. Were you typing the command like:

tool structure levels\hek hek?

or did you type it like:

tool structure data\levels\hek\models\hek.jms?

**EDIT** If you did the former, try creating the directory structure that was created in the tutorial and place all of the video tutorial files in the appropriate directory...then run tool structure levels\splinter splinter and see if that works...If it does then there is something wrong with the level you're trying to build...if it doesn't, then there is something wrong with tool, try re-installing
