To add a limb you must first make or load a mesh.
Your mesh will be the limb that you will attach to the main object.

So the minimum you must have is 1 object and 1 mesh,
then just use add limb (object number),(limb number),(mesh number) to add the limb mesh to the object.

This is about the best I can explain multiple limbs for multiple objects:

The only way for one limb to exist in more than one object is through instancing; which is like creating an image of one object and placing that image in its own 3D location with its own scale; behaving as if it were a new object. We perform this using the INSTANCE OBJECT command, and we add limbs to what is called the source object, thus adding the limb to all of its instances.

Without instancing all limbs are connected to one object; the same way your keyboard is connected to one computer.

Do you mean you want only one limb to be shared by multiple objects, or you want copies of the same identical limb attached onto multiple objects?

The more specifically you can describe your goal, the better we can help.
(You could try explaining what you want the objects and limbs to actually do like blow up, fall apart, etc.)
