Then I gently suggest you make a small effort to read at _least_ 
the online tutorial, or skim through that book, before attempting 
to write real code.  When you have a particular goal in mind
(as I know you do) _and_ you have made a moderate effort to solve
the problem on your own but encounter some difficulty, _then_
please ask away in this newsgroup.

And _always_ post code snippets representing your best effort 
so we can understand what you've already tried (and that you
_have_ tried) and our answers will be that much more helpful
(and plentiful).

Cheers,
