Well, after another day of trying to get the Sculpt Mode to work and failing, I've come to the conclusion that the problem is in the Blender software. Sculpt Mode only seems to work on some peoples systems and not on others - even if you download the exact correct version for your system.

You're not going to believe this! In a frenzy of frustration I attacked the keyboard and madly and randomly pressed key after key - probably 200 keys. Then I tried the Draw Brush and it worked. I tried all the other sculpt brushes, and they all worked exactly the way they are supposed to.
The cube responded to each brush stroke. I quickly took a screen shot of the whole Blender window.
I continued to experiemnt with the sculpt brushes for a while.
Then I closed down Blender and opened it up and tried sculpting another cube. Again only the Grab Brush worked. I opened up the saved screen shot to compare it to the Blender window I was trying to work in, and both were identical.
So, now I know that Sculpt Mode is fully operational on my system. The problem is that I have no idea how I got it to work. I don't know what keys I hit, or in what combination. I don't know how to get it to work again!!!!!!

Here's a screenshot. It's a cube that I subdivided a number of times. Then I switched to Sculpt Mode and tried using all the brushes at different sizes and strengths. The only one that has any effect on the mesh is the Grab Brush.

I've been following some of the turorials and trying things out, but I'm stuck.
The one thing that I think would be most useful to me seems to not work for me.
The SCULPT mode won't work correctly. Sculpt mode, I assume, does the same thing as the Z-Brush software program (which costs a fortune).
I've tried all the brushes in Sculpt Mode, and the only one that works is the Grab brush. It works perfectly. I can grab the mesh and pull it around to mold it, but none of the other brushes work at all. (The Grab brush is of very limited use.)
I'm on a Mac and running 10.3.9. The Blender software I'm running is the one made for this Mac version, and I'm also running the Python script software that the Blender site reccomends for this version.
I realize that the tutorials and instructions are almost always written for Windows machines, so I've learned to experiment to find the right hotkeys to hit to make Blender perform. (There are no right or left mouse keys on a Mac) I've hit every combination of keys immaginable to get the Sculpt mode brushes to work, but nothing works.
I've done an internet search for answers. Some Mac users have had similar problems, but the posts are several years old, and there's no consistant solution.
I feel like pulling my hair out ( which I shouldn't do because I don't know how to make hair yet.)
Anyone know what the problem or solution is?
Thanks!

I've been working with Blender for a few days, trying to make clothing. It is TORTURE!
The tutorials I've found online are terrible. So many times I've almost given up.
Today I finally figured out how to make armholes in a top. Not the sleeves, just the holes.
Everything I make looks so ugly. My character either looks like she's wearing aluminum ductwork, or thick rubber.
It's so terrible I don't want to even post any pictures of it.
Eventually this stuff will look like it's made of fabric, I hope.

Thank you Dreamloss. Water is beyond me at this point, but I'll check back when I get more advanced.

Thanks for the welcome. I spent all afternoon trying out Blender for the first time.
I learned how to import the Victoria 4.2 developer model that Daz3d provides for creating clothing, and also how to move it around in space, and view it from different perspectives, resize it, etc.
I made a 3d gingerbread man using a video tutorial, and I made a piece of silk fabric out of a mesh plane that drapes just like fabric, from another tutorial.
I haven't dressed the gingerbread man in the silk yet though.
