Take the item and give it a 'type:ItemOne' attribute. When the item is
selected, the unit will be assigned the type 'ItemOne'. Then give the
second item the attribute 'itst:type=ItemOne', so it will not appear until
the unit has the 'ItemOne' type. Itst works on race, category, type or unit id.

Are you sure you're looking for the right +- buttons? The ones that irng
activates are on the right-hand edge of the Wargear screen, under the
up/down buttons.

As specified in the notes for asop, the item only appears as an option in
'roster output'. That means it will appear as a normal item until you
actually print the roster, where it will appear as an option.

Right. If a unit has no lglx attributes, it's accessible to everyone who
could take it as an ally. With the lglx, anyone who doesn't specifically
meet the restriction is excluded.

Which file are you trying to open? Do you have a definition file for that
game system in the same directory? If you move (for example) a
something.40k file to the desktop and try to open it, the opening will fail
because there's no definition file in that directory.
