New guy searching for a basic newsletter tutorial

[Minister of Propaganda]

Just got oscom up and running for my site. I'm looking for a help file on using the newsletter feature. I built an html page to insert into a newsletter. What line of code automatically loads the page into the email? I also tried to insert a basic <a href> tag on my first attempt, but it didn't show up in preview. Then I didn't see any handy-dandy "edit" buttons like in the other modules, so how do you edit the newsletter before sending?

Can I send this bcc to my separate listserver (since I don't have old members' names yet transferred to oscom db)?

 

Aaargh! I hate steep learning curves!
