Code::Blocks Tutorial Documentation Issue

Using "http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Creating_a_new_project" the screens matched until: "On the final page, you will be presented with several options. The first box will determine the new filename and location (as noted, the full path is required). You may optionally use the ... button to bring up a file browser window to save the file's location.". What file name?? If I used the "...button" I go to main.cpp. I chose the Main.cpp and wants to "replace". Not in  the instructions and the rest of the documentation does not match.

BlueHazzard:
What do you want to do?
Create a new file?
Create a new project?
What file do you want to create?

All went south after " Adding a blank file In this example, we will be splitting the function main.cpp. I am new at this and am stuck.

BlueHazzard:
So whats the Problem?
You want to add a new file:
Press the "..." button, browse to the location of your project or where you want to generate the file, add the name of the NEW file (you have to determine it by yourself), press save, then finish and go on with the tutorial...

It is exactly as described...

What does this mean?
Can you not enter the path?
Can you not press the "..." button?
Do you get any error message?
What is the exact problem?
Please be as descriptive as you can... I am not an native english speaker, and sometimes i need a bit more description to understand the problem :)

Do you mean, that the text in the image is not printed in the first box? Well of course it is not printed there by it self. You have to enter the name of the new file... From where should codeblocks know how the new file should be called and where it should be stored?

Warren_W_W:
Using "http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Creating_a_new_project".  You should re-write the tutorial. The tutorial is not "It is exactly as described..." because you had to tell me to type in  the path and file name. That is not in the tutorial. The files "Hello.cpp" hasn't been created yet and is shown in the tutorial. I just installed Code::Blocks and had not created any files yet. I am really very, very new at Code::Blocks and coding.
