I can't seem to control the appearance of a block. I believe it's because I dont understand these instructions/examples on the configure block page. "Enter one page per line as Drupal paths. The '*' character is a wildcard. Example paths are 'blog' for the blog page and blog/* for every personal blog. is the front page.If the PHP-mode is chosen, enter PHP code between . Note that executing incorrect PHP-code can break your Drupal site." Please help. I'm hung up on because I guess I don't know what a "Drupal path" is exactly.

A Drupal path is everything
A Drupal path is everything after the q= in the URL. Create a block, enable it and place it somewhere. Configure it, tick 'Show on only the listed pages.' and add "admin/settings" (without the quotes) in the textfield. Navigate to Home>Administer>Settings and you should see your block, navigate to another page and it should be gone.
I think this should be added
Your info was very helpful. I think your info should be added to the configuration section of the Drupal Handbook. Thanks for the help.
Fortunately...
... it already is. http://drupal.org/node/21951
There's *very* much info on this site and on http://api.drupal.org/ and it's very hard to find what you're *exactly* looking for but it's probably somewhere here already. Whenever you find something, make sure the info isn't outdated, like applicable exclusively to a version before the one you're using.
Glad to be of assistance btw :-)
