Rod, this is pretty much straight-forward. About the only thing that may be difficult to remember is the reveal--the space between the inside edge of the jamb and the molding edge. If you do the 2 vertical moldings first and nail them in place, allowing for a reveal at the top of the jamb, then the reveal should work out the same all the way around. Others may prefer to do the horizontal piece at the top first and make the sides match. I guess that either way is acceptable but going around the door--one side, the top, then the other side, is tougher.
