How to Trade: Dock into a station, go to the buy screen, buy the desired product, click the "Cargo" tab and then click the product that you just purchased under the "Unloaded Cargo" screen, it should look something like "#x Product Sell Price", and press the "Load" button. You have just loaded your cargo onto your ship. Click "Leave Station" and undock. Head for a desired station, and dock. If you left the last station on the cargo screen, you should see it, if not click the "Cargo" tab. Look into "Ship Cargo" window and you should see "#x Product Sell Price". Press "Unload and Sell All" button if you want to sell of your your loaded cargo. Click the product and press "Unload and Sell" if you want to sell just that product. Click the product and press "Unload" to leave this cargo in the station where you can sell it under the "Sell" tab, "Unload All" nearly does the same.

------------------

How to Dock: The places where you can dock ar marked in two ways, the first is a teal message that shows up in your messages that reads "Press Activate To Dock" and the small box like shapes on the stations, normally well lit and much brighter then the rest of the station, fly up to one and press your activate key. You are now docked inside the station. No one can hurt you and you cannot hurt anyone as long as you are docked. To undock press the "Leave the station" button in the lower left corner of your screen. You are now back in space and assume normal flight. You are also temporarily invulnerable to any kind of damage.
