Doesn't it come with a manual? The amount 3ds max costs you would expect it to show you how to use it.

press 'Y' ... it'll bring up the icon bar (i hate using the modifier menu) if you look on the Modifier Tab at the end you'll see 2 checkered Icons, those are your UV Map Icons - first is the general mapping the second is the edit of the mapping coords.

I pride myself that i don't kill...
well not without a good reason

i've used all three and it is identical in all three to get these functions... however the actual "edit uvw" works a little different in each

make sure you export with "preserve max uvmaps" checked.
also make sure your texture is within the same directory and names in 8.3 format as the export

The only way that would have happened is if you did NOT buy the software. Every package comes with a giant manual, and tons of help files...
