    Goto Quest->Tiles
    You'll see as the first tilepage a bunch of sprites used in the game. Select the point where you want to import the sprite, and click on the Grab button. Open the .bmp and pick the tile/sprite in the image that you want to import. You may have to re-color the sprite unless it was made to fit in that palette (shouldn't be incredibly difficult to recolor though).

    Make sure the .bmp file is only 16 or 256 colors. I'm partial to 16-color mostly, unless I'm making a spritesheet with multiple rows of 16.
