By all means, butt in.

Yep, you can create HF's in Moray.  It'll even give you a representation 
of the HF so you can make sure you've gotten them the right way round.

The main problem I have with HF's is the sheer size of the image files 
you need to get a decent result with more complex designs, and the memory 
consumption you run into when you use several HF's referencing different 
source images.

In the Create Tab, click Heightfield, which should be in the fifth row of 
buttons down.

Excuse me if this reads as a little confused, but I just finished playing 
Escape From Monkey Island... (Chapter 1 completed so far)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
