I apologize for what I said here as I "assumed" incorrectly that anyone in the authoring kit forum is a experienced editor already. It didn't occur to me to think that you may have taken the plunge straight into the deepest part of HL from day one. My bad.. Sorry...
Well, sure. It's a natural mistake. I mean, it's not like that's almost exactly what I did. *ahem* *cough* *hack*
Seriously, though, if this is where all the experienced folk hang out, that naturally makes it the best place for inexperienced folk to ask questions.
