   Well.. here is the trick.  If you want to set anarchy start, simply 
insert an item into a room, make it a start, and number it 01.  So when 
you are done your 8 starts, you should have starts 00-07.  This will now 
work in multiplayer mode, where everyone starts randomly from 
start00-07.  I don't know how to insert a coop start from the item menu 
yet, but I guess if your level was made to be coop, just put all your 
starts in on room (but not on top of each other!).   There is a way to 
insert a coop start by using the pro-hex mode and manually inserting the 
data for a coop start (you can look for the data in the devil.ini file).  
I recomend loading up a registered descent level, finding the coop 
starts, macro them, and then insert them into your level.  Good luck!

  True, but I still wish we would get the chance to try out the Parallax
