I know your problem is answered, but I see that you have this problem:

Press PG UP and some colored squares will appear at the bottom, click on the one with the rupee and place it on the plage you want the item. :googly:

Do you have a Room type (Hotkey 'R'), Guy (Hotkey 'G'), String (Hotkey 'S') and Special item (Hotkey 'A') in the cave?

[Freedom]

many tilesets remove the guy sprites so people can use different ones on layers in their place.
What tileset are you using?

[mean man]

Have a look to this tutorial:

Alphadawg's Tutorial. (http://www.filelodge.com/files/room18/458063/AlphadawgsTutorial.zip)

Extract the files to an empty folder and open Index.html

EDIT:

There are many tilesets for Zelda Classic, you can find them in some places like PureZC (http://www.purezc.com/index.php?page=tilesets&sort=rating), what Freedom is asking is that if you're using one of those tilesets or if you're using the classic tileset (the one that comes in the editor by default)

[LinkMaster500]

If you are using the classic tileset, the guy tiles are already built in, so all you have to do is press the "G" key and pick who you want as the "guy" for that screen (e.g. abei). You can check to see if you have it set right by pressing Page Down until you see the words, "Guy", "String", and "Room" on the bottom. You should have it set like this:

Guy: abei (or whoever you pick)
String: Whatever you want the "guy" to say
Room: Special Item
Special Item: Sword 1 (wooden) (to do this, press "A", then pick the wooden sword from the item list

If you still need help, refer to the AlphaDawg tutorial that Firefly mentioned.
