I guess I need help just using this forum. What happened to the question I just asked? Where do I find the answers? And finally, why do I need to select a new name every time I need information?

The tutorial seems to assume you want to catalog everything on your camera/card.  I want to be able to download my day's shooting so I can browse through them on my computer to decide what to save, what to delete, what to catalog, etc. I'm not opposed to change, but so far it seems that Lightroom has its own flow that does not fit how I work. Am I missing something?

Two things to note on this:
When you are in the Import dialog box, you can click Uncheck All and then click on the small box (upper left) for the photos you want to import.
Even easier, Lightroom won't import duplicates. Photos you have already imported will be dim. New photos will be checked. It's a good idea to also turn on "Don't Turn on Suspected Duplicates" on the right side of the dialog, under File Handling.
