Finale + MIDI

Hey guys,
I've just recently got into Music Composition. I'd say I'm a intermediate/beginner when it comes to Music Theory, and a COMPLETE idiot when it comes to MIDI. I was wondering if anybody could help me out or point me in the right direction.
I'm looking to compose a score and just purchased Finale. Manually going in and clicking each note, note for note, on the staff was getting very tedious. I was reading up on MIDI and just bought a USB to MIDI cable and hooked up this keyboard I had laying around. Everything seems to be working fine in that department. I just wanted to know if it was at all possible to be able to play chords and whatnot on my keyboard, and have Finale convert them into notation. I've tried to research more into MIDI, and I am just completely confused. I'm not looking to make a precise MIDI symphony, I just want some easier way to record notation.

Can anybody help me?
