Lois,
The Orton Foundation has a wonderful website with lots of
information on how cones work, how to diagnose problems by
looking at the fired cones, etc.

The main site is:
http://www.ortonceramic.com/
General firing tips are at:
http://www.ortonceramic.com/center/firingtips_ref.html
Cone diagnostics:
http://www.ortonceramic.com/firing/pc_trouble.html

Another great place is the DigitalFire site - click on "Education":
http://www.thompson@digitalfire.com/
Their page on Interpreting Orton Cones:
http://www.thompson@digitalfire.com/magic/cones.htm

I hope this helps. Enjoy the kiln!

P.S.-While your're at the Orton site be sure to look at the Cone
Box Show winners!
