at the console as root go to the directory with the file and type:

rpm -Uvh "packagename.rpm"

You could also use Kpackage which is a gui for rpm.

What I would like to know is the step by step process of adding or removing applications to the menu so that I do not have to use the command line all the time.

If you right click on the "K" button on the KDE panel, an option called menu editor should appear. Select that and you should be able to edit your menus.

I believe Kappfinder will do this as well.
