I have read that loads of great effects and things can be created with these 'wac' thingies.
I have taken this one from UMF forum.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In DF:Xtreme or Joint Operations using the Wac file you can put text in your map. Heres an example of the wac commands.
if Elapse(500) then //Text Message 1
text " "
text "Your text here"
text "Your text here"
endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now this looks straight forward so far, but how do I incorporate this into my maps?
I use DFX MED that came with the game.
Where do I insert the wac commands ?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Click tools, then open mission wac the next box will ask you if you want to create it click yes. You then type what you want in notepad.
Basically all you need to make a wac file is notepad and a list of the commands.
I have a tutorial in the bhd downloads section creating wac files available for download.
The tutorial will give you the basic understanding of how the wac file works.
The wac commands in bhd are very similar to dfx but there are some extra ones in dfx
If you want the commands for DFX then you need to extract a file called KYLE.wac from the pff files for the game.
This can be doone using the pff extractor aso found in the downloads section.
I hope the above helps you out

I'll try your tutorial from the BHD download section and see how I get on.
Thanks.

In DFX, the wac commands file is GAME.WAC, not KYLE.WAC. The latter was the name of the file in JO. Apparently they changed it.
