Re: A newbie asks...
Yes formations can often help the problems being discussed.
And scripting. I also often use hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, stay behind for many of my commanders. Using the Ctrl-# to record the script and then # to assign it to new commanders can be very useful.
Its a good idea to spread out your commanders and mages so that they arent susceptable to one big destruction.
Often with larger armies I have at least one dumb little indept commander mostly there to get more troops in place so I like to have at least one of those in the far back corner with hold commands.

So would be: right-click, Copy, then right-click, Paste. For newbs at least. Given that we're in 2010. Even in 2006.
And while I'm at it, for goodness sake, in battle view mouse-off-to-left-or-right-of-screen-scrolls is pretty basic.

Re: A newbie asks...
Yes, they are Windows things. No, they don't work. They only have to be alternatives. Makes all the difference if you'd like to enlarge your audience. Back in the day, I too used to love going "ls -lR", but things move on...
