Hmmmm. How about "Technicians with HF" (term is from the ARRL
website)? I was trying to say that I was also taking the code test
portion also.

There is no Tech with HF. You need a General Class.

Hmmmmm, the FCC
(http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ama...atorclass.html)says

"A Technician Class licensee who also has passed a 5 words-per-minute
(wpm) telegraphy examination receives privileges in four long distance
shortwave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to Section 97.301)"

Is this incorrect or outdated? As I said before this is all new to me!

If you pass the 5wpm test you DO get some HF privileges. A handy reference
is the ARRL Publication "Now You're Talking" or the Gordon West study guide
for Technician. Either one will show you exactly what privileges you will
have on HF after passing the Technician and 5wpm tests.

It states:
Technician Class

Hams enter the hobby as Technicians by passing a 35-question multiple-choice
examination. No Morse code test is required. The exam covers basic
regulations, operating practices, and electronics theory, with a focus on
VHF and UHF applications.

Technician Class operators are authorized to use all amateur VHF and UHF
frequencies (all frequencies above 50 MHz). Technicians who pass a 5 WPM
Morse code examination are entitled to limited power outputs on certain HF
frequencies. "Technicians with HF" may operate on the 80, 40, and 15 meter
bands using CW, and on the 10 meter band using CW, voice, and digital modes.

Believe who you want. That only applies to old tech plus licensees.
New Tech's CANNOT operate HF. How many times am I going to have to
explain this???

Just as many times as I must tell you that you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Techs who pass 5wpm get the old Tech Plus/Novice HF privileges. Says so
right in the FCC rules and all the up to date study guides.
