Could this procedure be made more clear somewhere in the posting guidelines?

How about something like:

MULTI-QUOTE: used when you want to reference multiple posts in a single reply.

HOW to MULTI-QUOTE: Find every post you want to reference, and click on the Multi-quote icon [ICON IMAGE] in the lower right of each post's window (next to the QUOTE button).

Then, return to the to last message you're responding to, and click QUOTE. In the Reply Edit window, use Cut & Paste to edit and line up the multiple quotes in appropriate order.
Glad it worked ^ and actually, your answer is "out there". It's under the help menu and then under the FAQ's (albeit a bit hidden). If you bring up the FAQ's and search using the word "quote", the answer is in the section called "Replying to a Post".
