Having trubble understaning trimming clips in 10, from 7

I've been using VS7 and have updated to 10. Here is my project.

I have a TV show I recorded from my TV Tunner card. I want to cut out the first seconds before the show, comericals, and seconds after the show is over. I cut the first part out just like in VS7. When I go mark the first part of the comerical, then go to the end of the comericals and mark it, in VS7 I could hit "Delete" and it would delete that part. With VS10 it doesn't work.

When I select the comericals, then 'cut clip" the whole thing, from the first seconds to the end of the first set of comericals is marked for cutting.

In VS7 the User Guide was wrong. I got the correct instructions from a personal help website. It worked perfectly. The way the site explaned it for 7 doens't coraspond with the controls in 10.

Can someone explane what I need to do to cut the comericals? Why did they not let me hit delete in 10 like in 7? Seems dumb to have Delete not delete anymore.
Thank you for any replys,
Chris.

Did you actually click on the part of the video between the two cut marks? This should then highlight just that segment of video and you can delete it.

Thank you for the replys. My screen doens't look like the one in the video. I don't have the scroll wheel. I had the scroll wheel after the edit part.
I think when I was adding chapters and menus (different video file then I'm working on now, wich didn't have comericals). Are there any screen shots of the video? I can print them and go through each steep as I go along. Thank you for the replys. Chris.

WOW!!! This is very nice! Works real good.

After I use the part to get rid of the comericals, some are cut a little to early or late. Lets say I have 8 sections of video I've set to keep. On the 3rd section of video, how can I make the cut a few frams different then what UVS 10 did? I tried the mark in and out on the piece but it did nothing. If I set the mark in a few frames different and it doesn't do anything, then do I just record to disc and it works then? I hate to waite 3-5 hours to see if it works. Thanks for the replys,
Chris.

Chris you need to refer to my partially written tutorial mentioned above
The Editing Phase

My problem at the moment is finding time to get some more work done on it, but I will be.

Just select that clip in the timeline and in the preview screen, drag the Trim Handles to add or delete frames OR use the vernier to position the Jog control, then hit MarkIn/Out.

When I do that to a file I've already had the adzapper do, the whole thing disapears, not just the part before the mark in and after the mark out.
