I'd suggest having a look at ricardo walker's well done podcasts on garageband. 
 I don't hav a link, but I'm sure they won't be ard to find.

ok, but what about spjlitting?  You said nothing of the sort.  Joining is fine 
by me, I mean that I can't do without help.  My thing now is I figured out how 
to split and get two different regions, but it's almost looking like it's not 
splitting where the play head is, as when I try in the timeline voing to the 
region, it's usually dimmed in the edit menu when I try to go to delete.  The 
only way I can get it to not be dimmed, is to route my mouse with 
vo+command+F5, then while holding the shift key down, literally click my track 
pad to select the region.  Even doing that though, I find the region from 
before still seems to be there after then going to delete.

This really is perplexing me.  I know other programs like Amadeus can edit a 
bit easier, but is there no way here?

I know it can be done as I've heard Recardo Walker edit things like this before.

I'd e-mail him, but I don't remember his address.

You need to save every time first and as for joining I cannot get that to work 
at all witht he keystroke. and as for faiding you need to set a marker or an 
automation curve which you cannot do with out sighted help.

Take care.
