Seriously, is there a more detailed tutorial on the edit function?  I'm still trying to figure it all out :)

The only useful tutorial I've read is the one included in the SDK.  Personally I found using Edit() so un-intuitive and clumsy I gave up.  That's why Tally, killall, sov001 etc who do such great screenshots have my respect.
