Easy questions regarding Afterstep

I have AfterStep installed and functioning. I installed 1.4.5.55N on 
Debian 1.3 sysetm with 2.0.33 kernel. I have a few questions about what I 
can do and how I should do it.

My first question is why are my fonts in afterstep so funny looking. They 
are really fat letters that are not even legible (I think that's spelled 
right). Are there some fonts that I did not install or is there a setting 
I change to give me a better font?

My second question is about why 90% of all the buttons I push do nothing. 
I know why they don't work, because the programs are not installed. My 
question is how do install, for instance Astroids or Netscape? I want to 
make sure that I install properly so AfterStep can pull it up. Actually 
the most important thing that I would like to get running is AfterStep 
documentation.

My Third question is how do I create icons and menus? 

Lastly if nothing else works shouldn't opening an xterm window work in 
AfterStep? 

To everyone in the AfterStep mailing list, THANK YOU. Everyone is so 
helpful. Linux and AfterStep would have died along time ago if it weren't 
for people like you helping newcomers like myself.
