Even the beginners tutorial was on the verge of impossible to follow.  It said extract the three zipped folders into a permanent folder in My Documents.  

Then upon opening the TRC exe, it comes up with the settings designation thing.  And in the tutorial it states to designate them to files in the 'TTools folder'.  What TTools folder!?!

The TTools folder is wherever you have TTools installed. It contains 'TTools.exe' and the collections of .txt files associated with the traffic*.bgl you are working on.

I'm trying this as I would like better AI aircraft in my sim but I can't locate any of the .txt files. As far as I can tell i've done everything to the letter...

First off, I recommend reading the TTools help file (readme.htm). It will help by covering the basic concepts of AI traffic creation, whether done manually or using one of the utilities mentioned

The .txt files only appear after you have 'decompiled' a 'traffic*.blg' file with TTools. By default they are created in the TTools program folder.

There will be 3 .txt files associated with each traffic*.bgl file you decompile. They will appear in the left pain (Source Files) of the TTools program window.

The help file will explain what these file are and how they get edited..
