To include animations in your model, you simply need to load the appropriate .dsq's in the 3d shape's datablock.
Then call the playanimation function, with a valid sequence as a parameter, and voila!
There are several helper functions also to tweak the animation playback.
All of this info is contained in the Documentation Overview.html contained in the documentation directory, I suggest everyone checks it out, it's pretty...er....useful? :)

And specifically with the local documentation (Documentation Overview.html), I had been using it when I first installed the beta version, took a break and when i came back to my project completely forgot about it and was using the TDN which I assumed would have all the latest content. Thanks for the heads up.
