Steps to perform login with HTTP test steps

Hi,

I just loaded soapUI and believe it will be very useful. If so, I'll happily buy this plus loadUI in order to test. There are 10 testers on our team.
I've done my due diligence in searching the forums and even google + youtube for help. I know soapUI is mostly geared towards soap testing (duh!) but want to use it for regular HTTP page testing - which the user doc says it supports.

My problem: getting a login to work. OK - I'm probably missing something so obvious...

What I've tried:
1. Adding a Project | Test Suite | Test case of type = "Create Web TestCase"
a. Add http://www.google.com
b. Try to get it to actually record my login credentials for gmail using the built-in web browser
c. soapUi does not seem able to accept data entry keystrokes in the username / password fields using built-in web browser at all
d. It does record button clicks - and takes me to the appropriate page

2. Next I tried to manually add test steps (following help steps which actually were for soap not HTTP)
a. Added Properties step with username and password fields
b. Added Property Transfer test step using the Properties values
c. Added the login page

I think I'm missing something - even after reading the documentation.

Help?

Best regards,

Paul

Update: I tried adding the .xml file for my test - it did not seem to work so I'll try again.
