Hi, HT is Hash Tables. That means Crafty already calculated a branch, knows the position is for example +0.30 for that position down in the branch and does not need to go down any further in the branch another time. This is usually encountered in endings, where HT are the most useful.
I think (and my children's chess coach also :-) ) that a good way to train openings is to play 50 games of a particular line against an engine and see where you usually have to learn a bit more on that opening (for that you can use "tactical games" (http://prolinux.free.fr/scid/scid_newfeatures.html#playcoach) in Scid or in the upcoming version "serious game" : I hard coded the main opening lines in both modes, and you can force the engine to play them). I tried to make an opening trainer close to what offers chesspositiontrainer (http://prolinux.free.fr/scid/scid_newfeatures.html#opTrainer) but is seems boring (at least for me) and it supposes you already have an opening repertoire (of course).
