Yes, you did it correctly.
Gerald likes to have people be independent and look up
things on their own, and it is true that one learns
better that way--and you can copy and save the
instructions on to your desktop or in a folder.
I tend to appreciate short cuts myself and answer
people's questions--though when my children were
younger I made them look up things for themselves.
Here's some instructions that I had copied and saved.
Hope they help
