I wrote a blog about extending existing types. You can view it here: http://jake.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/2006/12/12/Farcry-navigation-extending-dmNavigation. I extended dmNavigation here but dmNews will be very similar. The real difference is you will have to mess with the PLP steps. I've found that you don't really need to do much with them if you just create your text field in the first step.
