How do paint terrain?

Hello everyone.
I have a question,
I have a nice terrain map made, textured through the terraformer. What I would like to do is manually add textures to certain areas, like the sides of some hills, and a pathway running on the ground.
It appears that this is possible in the terrain editor, however when I select an area, then goto 'Select Material' there is nothing in the list to select. So when I 'Set Material' it fills it in with some nasty white or some times yellow textures??? Where is the 'Select material' option look for the textures at?
Or, how do you manually paint the terrain?
PS. Thanx to everyone for being so helpful on my past questions. :)

Jeff, definitely looks like your talking about version 1.0, you need to get the latest version from CVS, much improved in most area's.Phil.

Select the Terrain Texture Painter option from the Window pull down menu. On the right side of the screen you'll see the active paintable textures. You can add paintable textures in any of the unused texture boxes. Terrain textures must be in a directory path containing the directory "terrains", since the editor needs that path to find the bitmaps.
