Hello there!
I guess you’ve already read this tutorial: [CALD Tutorial)
This is the current CALD thread, and CyberD’s recently written guide up at that page might be just what you are looking for.
You can find other links in this post. (the link to the Character Chat is outdated, it is in the Playground)
If you still have questions, post them in the CALD thread and we’ll be glad to help you out.
