I don't blame you if you are confused , so am I .
It should be pretty simple at this level and the book examples should at least work .

They sometimes don't and I'm buggered if I can understand why.
The guy that answers certainly does not put it clearly 
Lets hope some kind soul drops in and explains it to both of us !
