Kent, that's about par for the course. It happens to us all, even if we've been down the road before. Don't let the frustrations get the better of you, just prepare you to catch yourself before mistakes compound. The instructions in the book do work, and yes, one must follow them pretty much as given. I weasel-word that because I _ALWAYS_ "tee" a log file off of every CMMI and that's not in the book (yet). I consider going back to the beginning, wiping it all away, and starting over from scratch, once, to be expected. Twice, just an annoyance.
