I believe Matthew Betts is already helping you on this issue, but for
the benefit of other readers of this forum I'll explain a bit more
here.

The documentation explains the list of tasks which the Phrap
Reassembly task performs. This task list (extract readings,
disassembly, phrap, directed assembly) is automatically performed by
one single use of Phrap Reassembly, so you should not need to deal
with the individual steps yourself. (They are outlined in the manual
purely as a means of documenting what is going on behind the scenes.)
