Next you need to place the walls, so set the selector to walls, and find the look you are going for. You can change it later but it helps with placing the walls. I recommend using tiles that make a "grid" for the footprint to your buildings. there are no patterns for this so you'll just have to do it by hand. Once you have a basic floor to your map, you need to put down the "footprint" of all your buildings and things such as roads. While you have the pattern selected, you can press the + ( plus ) and - ( minus ) keys to make the pattern stamp bigger or smaller. To speed things up a bit, you can make a large area, then copy it using the copy button on the tool bar at the bottom. When you are done stamping the pattern down, right click to exit the pattern mode. Then just click away all over that black screen that is your map. Select the pattern you want to use from the window that pops up. To use the patterns ( most of which are desert of some kind ), you simply have to go to the tools menu, and select "use pattern". To do it by hand, you just scroll through the tiles selector at the bottom of the screen and chose the tiles you want, right click on the one you want to stamp down, then left click on the map area where you want to place it. by hand, or by using the patterns included with the editor.
A few people have asked for a tutorial on the basics of mapping, so here it is.
