First, select "Wind Current Dir Edit Mode" from the "Tiles" menu. Then place your mouse cursor over the wind tile you want to change the direction of and use the "-" (next to the "0" key - not on the keypad) key to turn the tile right by one pixel, or the "+" (again, not the one on the keypad) to turn it one pixel to the left. Hope that helps, and welcome to the boards - I hope you stay!

(quoted post from Ben Spees)
"The Wind Current tiles are changed with the square bracket and backslash keys, if I remember correctly. I know this is cheesy but it was a very quick addition at the time. These sorts of badly-designed parts of the interface are mostly due to last-minute feature additions to the game during the crunch period right before release. Since the editor wasn't originally intended for release, you guys all have to deal with my weird interface now... sorry!" The + and - keys change direction, followed by a click approximately on the tile where you want the arrow to point. Sometimes it points that way, sometimes it doesn't. "Plus" + seems to signify right, "minus" - left. Then, by moving your mouse into a tile corner, hitting plus or minus ONCE, and clicking, you can refine the arrow's direction pixel-by-pixel. It doesn't act as you want, sometimes. Tiles > FG Wind Kind Edit Mode Click on where you want your wind tile. You should see an arrow pointing up with a 50. Now say you want a tile to be strength of 60. Press the ) (left bracket) key once. Now click where you want the 60 strength tile. Now maybe you want a 40 strength tile. Press the ( (right bracket) key twice. Click where you want your 40 strength tile. You just have to remember what speed you are at, because you modify the strength before you set down your wind tile. Now you go into FG Wind Dir Edit Mode and holding down the + (plus) key and clicking on the tiles the wind direction will rotate around.

If you checked the link I gave then you will see that Thok already posted that and I expanded on it.
