NOAA and the Cap'n and Maxsea

I've been searching the internet and haven't come up with current info re
the capn and NOAA downloaded charts. They downloaded and extracted just fine
but it seems no matter what I do they won't show up in the search for charts
the capn does.

In a "for dummies" format can anyone tell me where and how I have to put all
those lovely rnc and dnc files I have to get the capn to recognize them?

Related, as this is part of a computer rebuild, while I seemed to have
solved that problem in the past with the capn, I'm about to reload my
maxsea. Has anyone got the same sort of "for dummies" instructions on how to
make charts which the capn recognizes (explorer, e.g.) and NOAA downloads
visible to MaxSea?

Thanks in advance!
