Welcome to the forums!

I could be mistaken (I've not used T.Ed at all), but I belive that terrain editor was designed specifically for DBPro, and can't be used with DB Classic.

The clue is in the name - Terrain Editor. DBPro has a variety of terrain commands which start by taking a bitmap image, looking at the colour of each pixel on it and then assigning that colour a height. Thus, a smooth 3d terran is generated.

It is possible to do something similar in DBC, but it might be rather tricky especially if you are a newcomer (as your forum join date implies). And I'm not sure you could actually get a T.Ed terrian running anyway.

For landscape generation, try downloading one of the free editors like MatEdit or MagicWorld in the DBC program showcase area. (There are a couple of other level editors there, but I never really got the hand of how to work them).

Hope this helps!

I actually read somewhere on this forum recently that it's possible to export a TEd terrain as a .x mesh, but I'm not sure whre I read that

Ah, here it is: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=143351&b=1. It's in one of Mobiius' posts.
