Apple Media Tool: Programming Environment Corrections

I purchased the Apple Media Tool Programming Environment (AMTPE), and cannot install the product on my hard disk properly. I am following the installation instructions included with the product, but they are somewhat confusing.
There are a couple of things you need to do that the installation instructions do not cover.

Step 1
------
Drag the Folder called MPW from the CD-ROM to your hard disk.

On page 2-2 of Getting Started the manual tells you to drag the folder called MPW for AMTPE from the CD-ROM to your Macintosh. However, the folder is named MPW on the CD-ROM, not MPW for AMTPE.

Step 2
------
Drag the Contents of AMTPE Mac from the CD-ROM to your hard disk.

The folders Key, and Standard and Minimal Engines are in the AMTPE Mac folder. These folders are required later in the installation process.

Step 3 - Power Macintosh Users Only
-----------------------------------
If you are using a Power Macintosh computer, you need to drag the StdCLibInit from the System Folder Additions folder to your Macintosh System Folder, then restart your computer.

This step is missing from the original documentation.

Manual Error
------------
On page 2-4 under Initializing Your AMTPE Tools, step 3 should say click the Directory button, not click the Select Current Directory button.

Once you get everything right in the MPW folder then it works properly.
