I'm surprised at that.  The instructions on the gmail site are quite clear.  
Did you really have a problem with that, or is it that your setting of which 
account to use was the real problem?

select Special Transport and select the gmail sending account.

Having said that, you don't actually need to have two sending accounts.  You 
can opt to send everything through your ISP's server, using your gmail 
identity as well as the other one.  This is the simple way, and will just 
work.

OTOH, if you have a laptop and want to use it in wifi hotspots, then the gmail 
one is going to let you send mail from anywhere.  I have my ISP one set to 
default, but on holiday I switch the default to gmail.  Very useful.
