Need a little shove please- Displaying Catagories for specific vocabulary

Hi all,

Usually I am pretty technical but at the moment I am a little stuck, I wanted to make my own file download area or repository without using the project module, I did pretty good in that respect by creating a Download content type and adding and re-arranging fields using CCK to get the fields that I wanted.

That worked pretty well but I wanted to have categories and such so I went into the taxonomy module and created a new vocablary and assigned terms to that and ended up with a nice category listing, then I went back into content types and dragged the taxonomy terms to where I wanted it.

Works nice in posting and displaying (and actually looks pretty good too :-) )

Here is the problem that I am having:

What I want to do is to create a single page that will list all the download categories and let a user select from the categories in order to browse the files in that category.

I know that I can do it manually, but I also think that such a thing could possibly be done in views, but I am not sure that I understand it and I got more confused after I read the fantastic manual. :-)

For example, lets say the download vocabulary name is files_for_download, could someone familiar with views or Drupal please post an example that would show me how to use views to display all terms in that vocabulary?

I think once I see an example I can probably pick it right up and expand it further (by restricting permissions,etc. later on.). Right now I just need a simple demonstration. :-)

Thank you,

Jeffrey
