Okay, responding point by point:
A) I need to accomplish this interaction for a current project
The two modules are available today. I show many examples of their usage
in my WT
columns, as do many other tutorials.
B) I want to understand the details so I can be the one writing the modules one day
Good, then you'll want to study good code that does useful things. The source
to these modules is well documented and less buggy than almost anything else
you'll see on the net. So use the modules, then trace down inside to see what
they're doing.
Do not attempt to build new technology without understanding existing technology.
Reinventing the wheel is fine as long as you don't do it ignorantly.

That's true, examining the code may wield some useful stuff. By point A I wasn't implying that the modules weren't available, I was just describing how the need to get it done was only half my motivation, next to the need to understand. Turn, turn, turn.
