If you start up the martview website you should see the ability to link 
them appears on the filterpage. At the bottom of the page you should be 
able to choose the other dataset and set some filters from it.

Maybe you are just API scripting or using web services though? You can 
find some examples in biomart-plib/scripts.

biomart-plib/scripts/examples.pl (The 4th example shows some goodl inking 
examples)

not sure I quite understand this - is best to set this to the same name as 
the linkName and internalName.

yes - this is correct

Let me know how you get on. It sounds like you have your links set up and 
just want to see them working now
