Too complex for Beginners

FCKeditor is undoubtedly a great tool, but it can be very frustrating for beginners.

I'm tring to incorporate it in a PHP site and I cannot follow the documentation. Bits seem to be missing. I understand how to capture the output of the editor and save it in a flat file or a database. No problems there.

But it's displaying the editor that has me scratching my head.

Where do I find out how to display a cut-down version of FCKeditor on a page? How do I get rid of most of the items on the tool bars?

I've looked at the fckconfig.js file and I noticed there was a basic configuration setting:
CKConfig.ToolbarSets["Basic"]
But how do I implement that? And how do I make another custom ToolbarSet and implement that?

I've got the PHP samples working on my site, but the config complexities have me quite confused.

Is there some place where I can read a straightforward step-by-step installation guide that covers the problems I've encountered?

Congratulations on a great tool, but please help beginners like myself to use it effectively.
