Just copy an original .iwd, open it with winrar, delete almost everything(if you delete everything you'll delete the .iwd too), fill it with stuff you need and then delete the rest of the stuff that was in there originally.

Show file extensions on files, rename the file, select .rar and change it to .iwd. Press enter.

a RAR file is a compressed file. Compression is bad...

File attached. Empty rar onto desktop, open Pakscape and click new.
Drag and drop the files into the relevant places.
Click "Save as" then type filename.iwd. (Ignore the filetype, it is ignored when adding the .iwd)
PakScape.zip

As I was not constructing a sentence, I am not required to end with a fullstop.

It's called an exception. :D
