There is a tiny bit on that in the help, though the help sure could be more up 
to date :(
To get example files you can use "File->Download New Vocabularies...".
Another option is to download the files directly from 
http://edu.kde.org/contrib/kvtml2/kvtml2.php, save them and use "File->Open".

Typing in the words is sometimes a good way to get to know your vocabulary (a 
first practice) but not a lot of fun, I agree.

Why you are done getting a file or typing a few words you can fine tune what 
you'll be asked by "Configure Practice" or start right away with "Start 
Practice"

For the headers: Edit->Languages (yeah, it's still a bit clumsy to set up).
