There's a lot there to digest, (page of KiCad documentation). Where would you suggest I start, with "Schematic Editor"?

I have made parts from scratch, in Eagle 7. I'm not opposed to doing that.

However, a previous post seemed to indicate that it's better to download the part's profile from Mouser, (hence the question)

Hi,

This is a common hurdle many new users encounter. I'd emphasize that 
you'll save yourself a LOT of pain and hassle my taking time to read up 
on, understand and master the process of schematic part creation and 
footprint creation from scratch. It's not hard, and it will save you a 
lot of time, even though at first it seems easier to 'download something 
from the supplier' and use that.

It's hard to give step-by-step advice without knowing your level of 
experience in detail. I do suggest you review the KiCad documentation 
and then come back with specific issues or questions based on what you 
find there.

I'm still trying to get acclimated to KiCad.? Could someone refer me to 
the correct DOC or instructions how to do the following.

I'm using this connector for the I/O.? "Fixed Terminal Blocks 6P 2.54mm 
90DEG" (Mouser: 651-1725698)

This part does have an ECAD Model.

My project is on my PC at: E:\Fred's Documents\KiCad\AF-Interface

Is there a step by step FAQ or DOC which will take me from download of 
the Symbol/Footprint, and putting it to where it needs to be to be 
functional within KiCad on the project.

What I've read so far appears to be for more advanced users, assuming I 
know the structure.? I'm in the beginning stages of KiCad.
