M&B Module System Basic Tutorial

Finding that the posted tutorial by Winter is out of date, I decided to see how much I have learned by converiting it to work with M&B 1.xxx. For the most part this is still Winter's write up, but I have made some changes and have tried to take it a bit further. It was uncomplete, and still is, but one more section to go! I am hoping to add some key notes to a glossary at the end to help with finding things I may not have hit upon. ###Updated MARCH 29 2009 Updated FEB 23 2009 Features
