branching

So far I've only checked things out and back in to Source Safe but now I want to create a project for parallel development. That is, I want to Share and Branch the entire project.

I have been reading the Source Safe Help files on how to do this and although I think I am following the instructions, I end up with an empty folder.

Can someone enumerate the steps required to do this? Do you start by creating a new project under the Source Safe root so you have something to Share the original project with?

Note: We have SourceSafe 6.0.
