A combination of the langref and interactive mucking around worked just fine
for me.  They're not very complicated.  The only possibly confusing bit is that
tb_next points downstream and f_back points upstream... or is it the other way
around?

It might not be an "idiot's" guide... good thing you're not an idiot, huh?
