To get this topic back on-topic, I will give more advice, and I'll be able to give more advice since my computer now has a DSL internet connection.
3-D Camera Controlling the 3-D camera in Blender is really simple. Most of it requires the middle mouse button. Simply click and move to alter your camera's perspective. Depending on where you click, your camera's movement will differ. Clicking at the edge of the 3-D window will rotate the view more, clicking more inside the 3-D window will change the angle more. Hot keys for specific angles are on the number pad.
7= Top
1= Front
3= Side
Crtl + (number) = opposite side
Editing objects will come next. Sorry this ones a little short.
A little off topic, but I tried a little water sim tutorial. It was very easy. I posted my results
here on Youtube. The tutorial can be found on the description of the video.
