You guys are all saying that NEW users should download the 1.4RC5 to 
start with, but there is no tutorial based on that version while there 
is a tutorial based on the 1.3.3.14 version.  I, being a brand new user, 
find that I need both versions, because if I don't find the elements 
mentioned in the tutorial where it says they are, then I am lost.

It is, after all, the NEW user who has the most need for a tutorial.
