Noob help req - how to program (any) CPLD with ModelSim starter ed 10.1e ?

Hi all, I've read the ModelSim tutorial 10.1e PDF that covers loading an example design (counter), compiles it and simulates the waveform. M'kay, all that kind of made sense. Now what do I do...

ModelSim only deals with simulations. You need to use the Altera Quartus II software, which is separate from ModelSim to create files that are used to load into a CPLD or FPGA. Note that there are some things in that will simulate but cannot be included in code that is to be loaded in to hardware.

There should be some example projects that came with the development board you are using. I'd work with these as you are getting started.
