I've read and re-read how to do datalists, but I cannot get the hang of
how
to make one and apply it.

I need a simple tutorial in how to make one, from A to Z.

I want to call in items that have cost associated with them instead of
typing them each and every time. Any GOOD help will be greatly
appreciated.
