...before I jab a pen in my eye...

Hey everyone..
Is there anyone who can keep this aspiring environment designer from going insane by either pointing out some useful QuARK tutorials on setting the thing up and using it.. or.. point me to an alternate editor (such as Worldcraft) that *doesn't* have a broken download link?
I'm going out of my mind here with QuARK. I cannot get past just opening the program, creating a new file, deleting the default room and creating a few blocks and then giving up in frustration that I can't do anything else.
I can't figure out how to import textures - or even where to get a WAD file I can *use* (again, all th ones I've found online have broken links or are out-dated). I can't figure out how select individual faces. I can't figure out hardly *anything* that's going to be necessary for me to do anything in that editor... including finding useful tutorials that actually point all that out...
I'm perfectly willing to try a different program if that's what is necessary... in fact I almost prefer that at this stage.
Please? For my sanity? :-P

I've basically eliminated the original post here because, I think I'm finally starting to make headway with QuARK.. I've gotten a complete texture set...errr... set up and saved. I have a "default template" that I now use to start any new map in the explorer. And, despite the odd control scheme that keeps tripping me up at this point, I think I'm getting a handle on that, too.
So... even though I know I was rather whiney in previous posts (not whiney, really... just utterly flustered), I think I'm making some headway... I'm still far from feeling confident with the tools because the way some elements of the interface work still sorta boggles me, but at least I'm able to reproduce certain actions consistently without wondering what I just did or how it happened..
Soo... I think I'm beyond the "what am I *looking* at?!" phase. Phew..
Thanks yet again to everyone for their feedback and help :-).
