#  *Description
# --------------------------------------------
# The script permits the use of XP sprites in VX.  All you have to do is insert the tag
#  "$xp" at the start of the filename.
# You can then use the VX-style sprites right alongside the ones of RPGXP.
#
#==========================================================================
# *Instructions
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Insert the script below Materials and above Main.  Add the tag "$xp" (no quotes)
# to the beginning of the filename of XP sprites you want to use.

Nice. Maybe I could find use of this sometime in the future if I ever decide to get VX ace. ^^

Cognates are wonderful (as is Google Translate), so I've decided to *Ahem* transcribe the introduction to the script for English users.
