#list ul
#li Load Tileset - Loads a tile sheet into the tile set list.
#list ul
#li NOTE: This will also load any existing animation and mask data for the sheet as well.
#/list
#li Delete Tileset - Removes a tile set from the editor.
#list ul
#li NOTE: This will remove any layer in the stage that uses this tile set.
#/list
#/list

At the top of the Tile Editor is a text field labeled "Tileset ID" where you can change the name of the Tileset. To the right of the Tileset ID field, the dimensions of the tile selected.
