I'm recording some tunes for voice and guitar one track at a time.  The first 
problem I encounter is that I start by recording one mono track.  Then when I 
go to record another, there are three tracks with the same music on them.  So I 
try to delete one of them using the following steps:

1 Use the arrow keys to select the track.
2 Press the Home key to get to the start of the track.
3 Place a [ there, and press Okay on the resulting dialog box.
4 Press the end key to get to the end of the track and place a ] there.
5 At this point the whole thing should be selected so I press the Delete key.  
When that fails I try selecting Delete from the Edit menu.  Neither deletes the 
audio.

Alternatively, I've tried going to the start of the track, holding down the 
shift, going to the end of the track, then trying to delete.  I've tried that 
approach forwards and backwards.  

Lastly, when I add a single new track to the project two more appear on the 
screen.  So it seems I have two problems.  How to delete, and how to add one 
track at a time.  What am I doing wrong here?
