News MOD installed but....

I'm a recent convert of phpwcms, and I've recently did a fresh install of RC4 and I'm attempting to incorporate Frold's News MOD. I believe I had everything installed properly, but I am not seeing where I'm to enter in News items. I'm linking to the correct plain text article where the {PHP:include/inc_module/mod_news/news_mod.php} is inserted. And when I go to view the News article, I do see '1 of 0 items.' with the four small arrows below for navigating the News articles. Obviously, there is 1 of 0 items since I haven't been able to input any News.
Is there an undocumented url I should be aware of to access the News entry form? I seem to recollect when browsing the forums at one point that there was mention of folx just typing in the url instead of providing a hyperlink in the phpwcms interface. That would be fine, but I now cannot find that article again or maybe I'm just hallucinating.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

ps - is there a recommended shopping cart system to work with phpwcms? I'm very familiar with OScommerce, but it seems that it would be somewhat heavy handed for my needs combined with phpwcms.

okay I got it workin' now. I made the adjustments before as in your instructions, but the updated files weren't copying to the server. Stupid mistake.
Thanx frold for taking a peek at that!
