More and better tutorials would of course be nice. But often an example is faster. A favorite front-end command is "Format", "Show Expression" [CTRL-SHFT-E in Windoz]. This is how I learned how to insert a  "fold": Select a cell with a "fold" triangle, use this command, and low and behold, the Cell includes option ShowGroupOpenCloseIcon->True. Light bulb over even my thick skull goes on! Search the Insector for "openclose".
