It uses alpha transparency doesn't it? So if I am making 2D media, I should color all the areas I don't want the player to see as pitch black right? Oh and what command turns alpha on so that black is ivisible?

SET OBJECT Object Number, Wireframe, Transparency, Cull

You'd want transparency to be = 0, more info in the help file.

Can you make an image transparent instead of an object? So could I past an image on the screen and have areas of that transparent.

Will that make the whole image transparent, or only the totally black areas? So that I can make an interface?

Only the totally black areas will be transparent, RGB(0,0,0). But values that are pretty close seem to become tranaparent as well, like RGB(4,4,4). And yes, you can make an interface by doing this, though I really prefer using a 3d plain locked to the screen instead.
