( I asume you have extracted the new toontown phase files in this guide and that you have PView in the folder you want to view the .bam files )
OK , lets go .

What is a .bam file? Why would we need to open one? From the looks of the available pictures, it looks like reverse engineering a software application.

By looking at the software website, it looks like Panda 3D is for designing 3D games and such. Is this what a .bam file contains? 3D imagery data?

It may help to explain more details about what we are doing instead of just giving step by step instructions to do something. We need to know WHY we do this because the concept is unfamiliar to many people (I think).
Please also note that some of your images do not work.

Why not ? I love step-by-step instructions, so probably do some other people. At least when the images work, so you should at least review your tutorial in order to re-put the missing images.
But I absolutely agree with FirefoxRocks on the main point : what are these .bam files ? Besides this advertisement for free videos download site ? ;)

Well I mean step-by-step instructions are awesome, but I think that the images distract from the content because there are too many, some of them are missing, and some of them are just plain ads for videos and images.
