FlowKit is not Programmer? Is only Debugger?

Oh my!
During the mishap that i had with FlowKit and which i described in my other topic, i ascertained a new very upsetting thing.
I have downloaded both the manuals of EB006 and of FlowKit. By looking carefully in the schematics of FlowKit, i ascertained that the MCLR/VPP node of J6 connector (which is offered - as i was thinking - for connecting target boards for ICSP) IS TIED CONSTANTLY IN VDD. From the few things that i know about PICs and other simillar devills, i know that this pin (the Nr. 1 pin o 40 pin PICs) MUST BE GO from low to high transition, if we want to erase or to program a PIC. Well, i think this is not implemented (WHYYYYYY?????) in FlowKit.
I have to mention, that i bought the FlowKit for the purpose of Programming-Debugging!
Instead, EB006 offers both possibilities. Programming and Debugging. The same mcu is used in both Flowkit and EB006, the PF4455, but in EB006 it offers 2 lines MCLR/VPP instead in FlowKit NO ONE!
Why Steve?
Why Sean?
I asked you in a previous topic for this. For the differences between FlowKit and EB006. Why you don't said me that the FlowKit it is only a Debugging tool? I asked you for what i had to select. EB006 or FlowKit? Your replies was not clear on this.
Now, be it so, that i resolved the USB communication problems that i have between PPP and FlowKit... I don't know almost nothing about assembly... for this reason i bought the Flowcode... in what it is usefull for me the FlowKit? From the point that it has no possibility for programming?
Excuse me, but i am very despaired. I have:
1) One MPLAB ICD of first version
2) One MPLAB ICD2 including a PICDEMLAB board and a mains addaptor
3) One FlowKit
4) One Flowcode
And i can't program a silly PIC with the ready offered *fcf projects from this forum.
