Difficulty implementing fox forms

I'm new to pmwiki and am having a problem taking in the "big picture".
If someone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong with the
following, I'd appreciate it. I've been trying really hard to read
through the documentation, and have been through a lot of it, but I'm
slightly lysdexic (sic) and am having problems getting through it all.
I have a test site I've setup for learning purposes at
http://crm.miketurco.com . On that site I have the pmwiki basic
install, along with fox forms, fox edit and fox delete. I also have
fox contacts setup, which I'm using as an example as I learn.
Test site: http://crm.miketurco.com
Password: Test.Wiki.123 (which applies to read, write and admin).
What I'm trying to do is setup a simple, flat, business management
database. As I see things, PTV's are like data fields, groups are like
tables, pages are like records and pagelists are like queries.
If you click the link that says NewBill in the sidebar, a form comes
up. You can fill out the form and hit Submit, and the page gets saved
"somewhere". I assume that the page is being saved in the NewBill
group, but... I'm not 100% sure on that.
If you then click on the Payables link, you'll see that I have some
data posted by that form does come up. One record shows up in part,
and I believe the blank lines are records from that group that would
be displayed if I had set things up right.
In my efforts to do this, I have created the NewBill form as well as
the BillList under Site/LocalTemplates.
