did not lock card. the print button is not active

You probably need to take a quick read through the first few pages of this : http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Prepare_your_SD_card A little reading now will save you a lot of time later.

.. however half of the card is now filled

I'm not sure I know what you mean by this?

actually I think I did everything right. I locked the card and now I see the CHDK logo. however it must not be 'turned on' because the lens won't extend.

When CHDK loads, it does so in playback mode only. There is a long history that I won't go into here behind that design choice. Press the shutter button (or playback button) to switch to shooting mode and extend the lens.

Did pressing the PRINT button activate the CHDK <ALT> mode.

According to the G7 code, the two buttons that can be assigned to the ALT button are PRINT and MICROPHONE. Did you try MICROPHONE?

Not owning a G7, I assume the microphone button is the one in the upper right hand corner when looking at the back of the camera.

Start the camera. Does the CHDK logo appear for a couple of seconds?
Press the <ALT> key (either the PRINT or MIC button). Does the <ALT> symbol appear a the bottom of the screen?
Press the menu button? Does the CHDK menu appear?
Navigate to the RAW menu? Did you find it?
Select Save Raw [ * ]. Did you do that ?
Exit ALT by pressing the <ALT> button again
Take pictures normally. A RAW version will also be saved. You will notice an extra 2 seconds (approx.) delay between shots as the RAW image is stored to your SD card.
