Just a note in passing... I'd strongly recommend picking up a copy of
the actual paper manual from High Energy. It contains a lot of very
useful information that isn't included in the elctronic distribution.
Including tips, such as the suggestion that designing on paper first
is a great way to avoid grief later...

What are the errors you're getting, exactly? If you get a number of
"warning" errors (such as "preparse" missing) at the beginning of your
error log, don't worry about it. The compiler is telling you that
you're missing certain optional features.
However if the errors are not merely warnings then only pay attention
to the first error. The following errors are usually spurious errors
generated as a result of the first. (not always, but usually)
