Why did you expand the toolbar if you were just going to collapse it again? If all you want is to see the project navigator, you don't need the toolbar to help with that: Command-1, you're all done.

Again, you don't actually need the project navigator if all you want to do is add files to the workspace: just choose File > Add Files (Command-Option-A).

Right, so you can navigate between the files using just the jump bar (and you can do that with the keyboard alone, Control-5).
So, very nice - starting with one file solves the "workspace" problem you complained about! - but there's a lot of dross you can eliminate from the instructions. m.
