poor little newbish programmer needing help

Hi, I am new to programming and I don't know much about it but I am slowly getting it and first I would like to know if there is a guide that goes more in detail about programming in the buttons on the joystick, I probably have something but I have hundreds of pages of stuff and have no clue on what I need to know.
But my major problem now is putting in the new code in the....robot controller, ya thats is!, I hold down the prog button on till the program state led is orange and click download. it finishes and a window pops up....now I have no clue what it is, it had a ton of x=0 and y=0 stuff scrolling down, we left it going for about 5 minutes and still going, Which might be our problem I never found anything on it so I wasn't sure what it was supposed to do or if it was of any importance. We got out of it and followed the instruction in he "2004 Full-Size Robot controller Reference guide" that I got from FIRSTS website or maybe here I don't remember, we tried it 3 times and it still won't upload the new code. But all we are trying to do is put a 2 joystick drive into 1. Which was on an older code and I put in that code part for 1 joystick which I checked that thing a million times and saved it. and I made sure I was loading the right code, but it still won't go! I brained my hurt.
So please excuse my bad spelling and grammar and Thanks in advance for any help. I hope I typed it in a readable manor.

EDIT Hey theres a spell check button
