No problem. I only recently started incorporating robots.txt files into my
websites because I got sick of them coming up as missing files in web stat
logs.

Some good sites to check out in regards to how they work and how to write
them are as follows:

http://www.rietta.com/robogen/intro.shtml
http://www.searchtools.com/robots/robots-txt.html
http://www.pageresource.com/zine/robotstxt.htm

Thus, to exclude a specific page, you would create a file that loks like
this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /pathname/filename.html
