Notes Help

I downloaded and installed a trial copy of Lotus Notes onto my PC and
I'm stumped:

1) I can't open calendar at all (let alone try to import from my old
PIM).  I get "The Doclink database cannot be located"

2) I cannot figure out how to import into the address book.  I mean I
can go through the motions, but nothing is ever remotely right.  And I
get asked to make selections on things that I have no idea what Notes is
talking about.

3) I'm only trying to use Notes as a PIM for now (i.e., calendar,
contacts, to dos, no email and no Domino).  I did the tutorial.  I
searched the help, and it was no help.  I searched the online support
area and the hits I got remind me of the hits one gets when searching
IBM online support . . .

This is one of the more unintuitive things I have ever run across.  Am I
that dense?  Can anyone point me where I can get some assistance?
