I"m sure the help file will help, I just haven't gotten there yet. I
set the FIR but didn't recognize the area because it didn't show me
airport names (just airspace). Again, I'm sure if I sit down with the
documentation I can get it to work. I use Flightsoft now for planning
and it works a bit more out-of-the-box, but may or may not be better.

You really need to read the help file!

Download all the data files, it takes awhile. And also that you have a
compatible GPS. PocketFMS doesn't work with my Garmin GPS III. Works
great with my Magellan 315...

I had a lot of trouble with an old Trimble Flightmate Pro (1993
database) but eventually got it to work. As long as you can get NMEA
sentences, at the right baud rate, with the right parameters selected
it should work.
