Noobie difficulties

Hello all,
purchased the indie torque licence a while ago but was too busy to dive in. Now I am trying to but.
when I follow the instructions in the intro tutorial it asks to open the file : Torque/SDK/example run the torqueDemo file and I will open the "start page" WITH THE BIG RED LOGO AND THE "... SET OF HANDY LINKS ATTHE TOP..." but instead it opens up a small playable demo of a couple of buildings and an orc running around that you can shoot. There doesn't seem to be any links to the page as described in the intro tutorial.
I have searched my harddirve for another file with the same name but there isn't one.
i'm sure i'm doing something wrong but at this point I am dead in the water.... (Killing "Kork" just isn't that fun after the first fifty times)
Please help me get off of the starting blocks...
Thanks
Willie

What you're seeing is the "starter.fps" game.
If you're working with the new 1.4 release of Torque, goto Start -> Program Files -> Torque -> tutorial.base to get into the tutorial section.
If you want Torque to default to that directory, open up Main.cs
You'll see a line that reads somethig like defaultGame = "starter.fps";
Just change that to tutorial.base, or starter.racing, or even a custom directory if you're wanting to build from scratch.
Hope that helps! =)
P.S.
Just saw you're on a MAC, so much for "start -> program files..." lol.

RunRacing.command
RunFps.command
Launch using show mod.command
( in example folder !!! )

I had to throw away all the files to do with the DEMO which was already installed. then redownload the real program and start again.
Viola!
I feel foolish.
I was impressed by your quick responses... I'll try to ask better questions from now on.
