Making elevators work?

Okay, so I've been digging through the support and tutorial sections for a couple of hours now, and everything I try doesn't work. I'm completely new to coding, so I have just about no idea what I'm doing and I'm pretty sure I'm just making some obscure mistake somewhere.
Would anybody be willing to do a click-by-click walk-through or something so I can figure out how to make it work? Oh, and when I hit the "`" and type in elevator, it doesn't recognize the command.

1) Click on a block
2) hit esc
3) hit editing gui
4) Ents
5) Elevator
6) Click on the box and hit F3
7) change the settings to your liking

P.S. After you get everything right , hit "e" swice

when you use the console, it's "/ newent elevator # # #".
The numbers are your x y and z values for direction.

Oh boy. Okay, I've got a real quandary here. I got as far as step four, but in the list under Ents there is no elevator. Am I missing something?
Edit: Okay I'll try the the console thing, really quickly.
Edit: I got a message in the top left saying- unknown entity type "elevator"

are you in SSP or RPG? in those, some ents don't work. That may be it.

Yeah, I'm in RPG. I don't think the teleport thing works either because I've tried hunting for it too and I can't find it. Is there a way to make them work?

There is a special rpg teleport, I think, but no elevator

Ah, that's okay. How do I set up the teleport within a map so it acts kind of like an elevator to take you to a different floor in a building?

I can't explain adding a teleporter, but you could make an invisible teleport at the elevator base and put one on the next floor up (in the elevator shaft).

That was the idea I had as a back up, but I have no idea how to do it because although I have teledest in the ents list, I don't have teleport.
