Newb Question

I'm a little bit lost and need some help.

I'm not understanding how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

So I use gpasm to compile my application that will run on the PIC?

How do I get the application on the PIC?

And then what do I use gplink for?

I read through the gputils 48-page manual, but I'm still not getting it.

I've got the gputils compiled on my Mac and I have PicKit 2 with a demo =
board and couple of different microcontrollers (e.g. PIC16F690).=20

If someone has or knows of a Web site they can link me to, that's =
probably what I need.

Thanks,
Keith=
