Clueless about PHP but need to edit a file.

Can someone direct me to the basics...or better yet, show me the correct editing for the first part of the page so that I might be able to learn from it and edit the rest?

Here's the page I want to edit:
SMF User Help: Introduction

And here's the code of the first section:
Code:
$txt['manual_index_you_have_arrived_part1'] = 'So you\'ve arrived at this '; $txt['manual_index_you_have_arrived_link_site0'] = 'Simple Machines Forum'; $txt['manual_index_you_have_arrived_part2'] = ' (SMF)! Perhaps you\'ve been looking at the '; $txt['manual_index_you_have_arrived_link_site0_board'] = 'board index'; $txt['manual_index_you_have_arrived_part3'] = ' or a screen telling you that you need to register before you can read it and you\'re wondering what to do next?'; $txt['manual_index_guest_permit_read_part1'] = 'Well, some forums permit guests to read and post, some permit guests to read only and some are restricted to registered members. We\'d recommend '; $txt['manual_index_guest_permit_read_link_registering'] = 'registering'; $txt['manual_index_guest_permit_read_part2'] = ' at any forum that you see yourself using regularly because many of the most useful features will only become available to you when you do so. Since SMF, however, is such a flexible system that few forums are likely to be identical, we will start by describing four key areas that we\'d normally expect to be there for you:'; $txt['manual_index_main_menu'] = 'The Main Menu';

Thank you.

Thanks, Ben. I'll check that out.

No, I've never even attempted to edit anyting or learn anything about php before.

...I guess it ain't going to be as simple as editing an html page, huh?

I've found the Simple Machines Community Forum to be a great place for SMF modification help.
