The best way to get started with Helena is to see it in action! Take a look at the video below for a guide to using Helena for the first time. Key Reminders:

• To make a program, demonstrate how to collect the first row of data.
• To add a new cell to the first row, hold down the ALT key, then click on the webpage text that should appear in the next cell, then let up the ALT key.
• You're only in scraping mode while ALT is held down.
• To see if your program works, use the "Run Script" button.

Tips and Tricks:

• Don't use the back button during demonstration -- Helena can't record it.
• If you run into trouble, just start a new recording! (It's almost always the easiest way.)

And that's it! Go ahead and start making some Helena scripts of your own!
