YTD and LTD Unread post

What do "YTD" and "LTD" refer to when setting conditions in "Events" in the scenario editor, e.g. what it the difference between "YTD Company Loads Hauled" and "LTD Company Loads Hauled". RT1, I remember, came with a pdf detailing all the commands, but this is lacking in RT3, which is the disc set I still have. Does such a document exist for "Trainmaster"?

YTD = Year to date, so it's a yearly event and would recount every year.
LTD = Lifetime to date, so it keeps a running total.

Trainmaster's editor is the same as RT3 and RT3 1.06, except for a variation of some buildings/cargoes. There is no official guide as to what everything means, but there is a guide to creating some events on the website: http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/Xtras/Tips_Tuts_Utils.htm

You can also check out the Letters to the Editor forum, specifically the map creation and scenario writing forums for information on some issues people have run into or questions they had. And if you don't find the answer you're looking for, feel free to ask on the forums and usually someone around here will know.
