I wasn't the one that needed help, I just noticed the post. For new 
users, man pages can be completely overwhelming. I know when I was a 
newbie, hell even now to some point, man pages and HOWTOs were nothing 
but documents full of words I knew nothing about. It is a lot easier to 
ask, and it isn't that hard to answer.

Let me put it this way...

It's easier to study how a car that has already been manufactured works 
then to have to build the car to see how it works. Might not be the best 
analogy to get my point across, but it'll have to do.
