Help Making "isolated electrical block" in RRTrack V4.02-Solved!

I know I have done this before and I recall its kind of arcane. But I have spent the last hour scouring libraries and anything else that looks remotely possible, and came up blank. The RRTrack manual is almost useless in this respect. The index is 1/2 page at the back with about a dozen entries; zip about electrical blocks of course. On page 50 of the manual there is a vague reference to using the "help file" to make an electrical block. Great. Guess what, my Win 7 x 64bit OS does not support the 32 bit format in which the help file was written, and there is no MS program download to convert it so it can be used. Isn't that just grand! mad I imagine if I upgraded to RRTrack V5.0 the help file would work (presumably the new software is written for 64 bit systems?), but for the once or twice a year I use it that does not make a lot of sense.

Can anybody unlock the "magic secret code" for making electrical blocks for me? Thanks.

I spent some time wading through the manual and got it figured out finally. First you have to highlight the track section, then go to the Action menu, then select "Set/Clear Block Break", then place the mouse on, and click on the track joint where you want the block break. Yikes; what a production. Why this can't be a simple item selection in the track library I have no idea. That would be too easy I guess.
