advice on instructions for the builder page

[Colin Clark]

Just my two cents: I like Anastasia's current draft, and I think it  
should be clear enough for most users how it will work. I'd love to  
hear other opinions, though.

This Builder release is a first step--we'll continue to do user  
testing and improve its design over the next few releases of Infusion.
