When I enter an assignment, I see that there is a “weight” of 1.00. I use “total points”….what do I do?

The “weight” of 1.00 simply means that you want PTG to count that assignment for 1.00 of its original value. If you change it to 2.00, it will count for twice the normal points. If you change it to 0.00, however, the assignment doesn’t count at all!
