Unhappy I just don't understand EasyPopulate

Okay...Here's the situation; i've been reading any and everything that i can find on easypopulate, but nothing explains what file formats can be uploaded...Do i create my product listings in Excel and then import that file to easypopulate?...i have absolutely no idea what any of this means...

Download EP and Froogle Files
Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit
Download Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file to edit
Download Model/Category tab-delimited .txt file to edit
Download Froogle tab-delimited .txt file
Download Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file

Create EP and Froogle Files in Temp Dir (/temp/)
Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir
Create Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir
Create Model/Category tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir
Create Froogle tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir
Create Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir


Could someone please take pity on this easypopulate lost soul and provide step by step instructions?

First off manually add some products to your site. then download complete tab delimited file. Then open with excell or microsoft works. All the columns you need will be there. Fill out the info in the columns with the additional products you want. Click save as and save as text and tabs. Upload and you are done. Make sure if your pics names you upload to your site are in lower caps then do lower caps in the spreadsheet. If alot of products you may have to split the file.

If you are just working with Price only download model/price/quanity.
