Default Boolean not working very well?

Hi all,
i'm still considering buying AC3d as a quick lowpoly modeller (i use Lightwave for the rest)

and was checking it out at a buddy of mine who has a registered version.
I tried to do some simple boolean substraction and run into some troubles.
Hopefully you can help me.

- i make 2 boxes called box1 and box2
- i pick the boolean substract option.
- in the first inputfield i "set" it to box1
- in the second i "set" it to box2
- now i pick substract B from A in (other words substract box2 from box1)
- When i click "ok" the box1 is substracted from box1?!?! ***PROBLEM 1 !!!***

An other prob is that when boxes are substracted from eachother 4 new sides are created (just think of a box with a square hole through it).
these 4 sides can be created with 8 faces ( 1 square side is made out of 2 triangular polies)

When the substarction is doen however i get, instead of 8 new faced many MANY more!!!

So do i not understand this feature or is it just not well implemented...yet?

Looking forward to an answer/sollution
