OK, how? do you work quick text?

I just got a LG ax8600. I know I am years behind on the bells 'n whistles of cell phones, but was trying to catch up. I am not understanding the "quick text" feature.It isn't a t9 input method, right? all that I can do is get to the QuickText list, and can do nothing with that list?I was going to make a whole list of quick text to text with, but how do ya poke it into a what?text message? notepad? How do you use it?/??(really,lol)
( I just got it and am frustrated, and haven't found a 10 year old yet to show me how to work it)

I think you should activate textquick then you scroll it.With this I can give this info. only.
