Jameco just posted this excellent article on the basics of using a multimeter. Good read for those trying to figure this stuff out:

Thanks for posting that link, Randy.

Good article that. I must say I did a double take when I first noticed the thread, surely Randy can't be asking that question? There are a lot of folks who could benefit from simply learning how to use a cheap meter for continuity testing.
