Question on edge cropping

Here is what I'm doing to crop an edge:
I align the grid to the surface with the edge I want to crop, select edge mode,
select the edge to crop, press c to start cropping, I click on the point where
I want to crop the edge and nothing happens

If I drag the crop tool from the edge, it draws a new line on the screen
(looks like surface cropping line and I have no idea what it is for) and when
I release, a new point is inserted at some totally random place on the edge
(usually beyond the end of the original edge) and then I've got to go move the
vertex where I originally wanted it. I have not seen any consistancy to where
puts the new vertex. Sometimes it is near where I want it and sometimes it
is way off the screen. It just feels cludgey the way I'm doing it, having to
move the vertex after cleaving, even when there is a grid vertex right where I
want the point. Am I doing something wrong?
