ACK! HELP with armies! ASAP :)

Sorry guys, but I've got a great little game going right now ... my hordes of knights fending off and pushing back the legions of mighty Rome (who launched a surprise attack in a move that makes this sort of game worth playing).

Anyway, my knights are turning elite left right and center, and I've just landed my first leader of the game. I moved him to a city and made him into an army, essentially because I was well on top of the two wonders I'm building.

Thing is, i can't figure out how to load troops on top of the army.

I've tried moving him into a city and seeing if a command appears, I've tried moving him out of the city and moving troops on top ... but whatever I do the troops just sit on top of the army icon. ARGH!

How the hell do I get this thing working?

The Civlopedia (sp?) and the manual were USELESS!!!

My stars and a peck on the cheek to the guy who can help me out.

There have been other threads about this, but as I am a friendly and nice person:

Move the leader into a city and make an army.

Then take the unit you want to put into the army to the same city and "load" it into the army like you would load into a transport.

(use the "load" button or the shortcut (L? Don't remember right now)

Repeat last step until the army is full. (normally 3 times)

It was the loading bit that had me bamboozled ... I kept on right clicking and looking for a load option, or for the units to load like they do on sea units.

The little LOAD icon at the bottom eluded me ... thanks ... I've got 4 armies stonking across the map making themselves felt
