It seems as if this ought to be easy but I'm confused.

Given that I have the right one, what do I do next? What is a
composite video port? If I use and S-Video cable, do I still need
to do something else to get the sound to the television?
It's easy to get confused by this.
I don't know if the 12" has the same stuff as the 15", but here's
what I do:
Video:
s-video from Powerbook to TV
if your TV lacks s-video there is a little white wire that comes
with the Powerbook that attaches to the s-video and gives a video RCA
plug similar to the ones below (usually there's a little yellow
circle on the end)
Audio:
you need a cord that will plug into the headphone jack or line-out on
the Powerbook on one side, and has two RCA plugs on the other
(usually one red and one white, by convention). You ought to be able
to get one cheap at a Radio Shack or equivalent.
What I am calling "RCA plugs" are the ones that normally are used to
connect a consumer level VCR to a TV (back in the days before s-video
especially).
of course you can just listen to it from the Powerbook, but that does
leave something to be desired.
If this isn't clear email me and I can post pictures of the wires &
connectors.
