Changing Volume Of Individual Notes

This is driving me nuts as someone got upset at me for not reading the manual yesterday. I read the tutorial, and I still can’t change volume for the notes…the 9x commands simply change the notes…I am unable to select the volume column individually as it highlights the note as well, thus making any input change the note. The commands seem to work in the effect column, just not the volume column.
Any help would gladly be appreciated.

Move the cursor to the volume column with the arrow keys, and enter a hex number between 00-80

Use the VOLUME COLUMN

If you can’t see the volumen column, ENABLE IT
