I began using Scrivener recently, and rely on it for writing, and MyInfo as my
data repository. I was not able to figure out how to get CT to function in a way similar to
Scrivener, which seems far more geared towards writing.

There is a way to emulate (sort of) the main view of Scrivener in CT, by using the Outliner pane and linking items in the outline to a given topic, so that by double-clicking on it CT opens the given topic. See Manfred's description:

I hope you will be able to provide a detailed description with
screenshots showing your process and the results. (PS. good screenshot capture
program is the open-source "Greenshot")

Thanks for the Greenshot suggestion, I like it a lot! It should make things easier...
