As a newbie myself I'm finding this all quite maddening

. The manual is all out of kilter(written for 1.2)...not enough detail given on the tuts...videos way to fast, & the young lady who is narrating does a lot more than what she is describing.
OK - I've selected the faces up top...clicked on the extrude....but the options do not appear no the right side as shown. All I get to the side is CLONE & CLONE OFF...what am I doing wrong.
Thanks
