DITA "tutorial" fails or is it me?

Question

I am following the Quick Start "tutorial" in the _Structure Application Developer Guide_ and have hit an impasse.
My EDD is valid, and I can import it into the test document, but doing so has no effect on the test doc. I am sure I have followed the instructions carefully, although I am as human as the next guy, maybe "humanner".
The issue seems to begin on page 18, step 10. I did not have a template, so I opened a new, blank document. I entered all the content on the example, exactly as keyed on page 20.
BUT, there is no "Structure View" (or at least nothing shows up in the window).
Nonetheless, I soldiered on and added all the format rules from pg 21 ~ 23, and re-imported the EDD. Still nothing.
Which step did I miss?

Answer 1

You're right about the doc I am using, it's the one at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/structapp_dev.pdf
It's not a tutorial in the ordinary sense, but it is a cook book for a simple project. The place I think the problem lies is on page 18 (pdf page 32) where it says:
"9. The initial structure is now complete, so you can test it by importing the EDD into your first
template.
"10. If you already have a template, open it. Otherwise open a new empty FrameMaker document.
"Test the structure
"1. Import the element definitions from the EDD: File > Import > Element Definitions..."
I believe there is magic in step 10 above, but I cannot figure out what it is.
I am familiar enough with FrameMaker to know what a template is, but if the term means something different from those I've used since version 4.3, I can't determine how.
I chose File -> New -> Document, then clicked Portrait to get an empty doc, et voilà! The import went about as poorly as you might expect for a first effort, but I got everything corrected. The import into the empty doc was also troublesome, but that, too, is overcome.
When I have the Elements window open, and click in any 'graf, the only option displayed is "Document".
The Paragraph catalog is unchanged from the default, i.e., there are no tags that reflect anything from the EDD. Applying any of these tags does just what it has always done, but it does not pull the definitions in the EDD.
So I'm puzzled. It's not as if I'm a neophyte in the FrameMaker/Tech Writer world I've been doing this for 23 years.
