In my opinion, the #1 rule of "How do I... in OpenLayers" is to look 
over the rich set of examples. The examples include drawing and 
capturing shapes, rendering commercial datasets, popups, and a zillion 
other tricks.

Look through the examples for a likely title, e.g. draw_vector.html, and 
pop it open in a browser nd in Notepad, and most of your questions 
should be answered.
