Jamie: I'm not that interested in keeping the Daisy format at
all. So, are you saying I should edit the entire material with the
PRS software? How do I get it in Sound Forge? That's where I'm
still confused? You are saying that I really can't edit any of this
is Sound Forge at all, correct, but must rely on the PRS software.
Thanks.

Daveed,
This is really not as complicated as you are allowing yourself to think.
The PRS software is intended as a fully functional editing software for the creation of a DAISY title. This includes the ability to cut, copy, paste, split and join phrases and sections within the recording. You can edit the audio in whatever way is suitable for the end product you want to achieve.
The software also happens to have a number of useful functions that are handy, for example, the audio export facility that we have been talking about. All in all, the PRS is a neat way of creating and editing DAISY (audio only) titles.
In my mind, if you only ever want to be able to record an interview or the like and then edit it in preparation of broadcasting pieces of that interview, the PRS probably will do all that you need. If, however, you want to be able to do other more elaborate things to the recording such as fading, multi-tracking, etc, etc, then you will need to use other audio editing software such as Sound Forge.
The concept of PRS is pretty straightforward - it's a DAISY editing tool.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jamie

Jamie: What do you mean by "Edit all the audio in whatever way suits your purposes for whatever program you are creating." This is getting so complicated! Can't I just edit with Sound Forge? I'm sorry, but I still don't understand. I thought that when you export to audio files, you get one large edited file, according to the way in which you edited the original Daisy file. Now I understand I would get separate files for each section. This is very confusing.
