TreeMaker is not a simple program to use. However, it is documented, and although (I believe) it doesn't refer to the latest version, it's incredibly helpful.

It would also be a good idea to create a couple of simple designs and get a feel for the program.

If someone were to explain in simple terms how to use it, it would not be a short explanation. Also, I doubt it would differ much from the Help file (from Dr. Lang's site).

In fact, the help file above has several tutorials. I recommend working through them, paying attention to what you're doing. I'm sure it would be a much bigger help than someone trying to explain in words how to use it.

As for ReferenceFinder, taking the length of the paper as 1 unit, you enter the coordinates of the reference point that you want, e.g. 0.7, 0.333333, and then tell it to find the reference.
It'll give you a few matches, usually, with the most accurate being at the top.
Follow the instructions and you'll end up being able to find the reference.
Lines are similar, but they have a start point and an end point, so there are two sets of coordinates to enter.
