Domain transfer

I am trying to change my domain name registrar from GoDaddy to
Dreamhost, and have got as far as unlocking domain name.
Dreamhost instructions for transfer requires providing DH with authorization code to be obtained from godaddy's website. Unable to follow instructions probably because GoDaddy has changed the user interface - can't get 'Domains>My Domain Names in the upper navigation bar'.
Godaddy's instructions on their website are as follows: "After unlocking your domain, you can initiate a transfer with your
new registrar. When you complete the process with the new registrar, we send you an email message that includes instructions for authorizing the transfer away from us."
(http://help.godaddy.com/article/3560)
In other words DH wants authorization code before they initiate
transfer, and GoDaddy will only provide same _after_ DH initiates
transfer.
Tried support and got a fast response but it wasn't very helpful.
Could someone advise how I get around this impasse?
Regards.
