Blender grabing

[flo777]

Well this may seem like a dumb question but I only just started with blender. But how do you grab things?
And I think this is in the wrong place so dont go posting "Wrong section" and all that stuff just please answer the question. 

I also want to be able to do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sFqLn2aeRw Please help!

Select the object by right clicking on it. Press 'g' to move it. You can also move it by those directional axis arrows (the red, green, and blue ones)

You don't have to select whole objects. You can select anything from cameras to vertices. When grabbing press Z, X or Y on you keyboard to lock to that axis. Shift allows more precise grabbing.

Version 2.49 I frown upon thee. If this guy is using the superior 2.5 that video is completely useless to him. The interface is completely different but less confusing and much more user friendly.

I have 2.5, but one of the reasons I don't really use it is because I can't setup any background images.
If I can figure that out, I'll switch.

Move your mouse over the 3D view, press N on your keyboard and check "Background Images" and click "Add Image". After that's it's pretty straight forward.

Edit: More detailed guide here.
