Ok first what one of these do I need to download to get started?
This depends on your development platform. If you use the vmware image everything needed should be already installed. I recommend the vmware image as installation is much easier.
Once I have one of the patching programs installed do I just type "svn add file"
No. You patch the sources, typically with patch -p0 < patchfile.diff
Without the quotes. And where do I type this is there a program window or do I type it in a dos window?
In a terminal. Depending on your development platform this may be a cygwin shell or a terminal window in the vmware image.
After the svn add file line then should I type the file name after svn add file with the file extension?
You "svn add" a file if you want to add it *to the repository*, not to your local copy. Unless you want to add files to the repository (which is only useful if you *create* patches yourself or are a developer) you'll never want to use svn add. I have no idea where this svn add idea comes from. - Dominik
