[support] newbie views url

[Brian Wolf]

hi, 
 
 
i am new to drupal in general. not sure what is meant by path or url in views jargon. 
 
for example in the help area, they use the words path and url as follows:
 
Arguments, or additional parameters that dynamically refine the view results, passed as part of the path. Adding an argument of Node: Type to a node view with a path of "content", for example, dynamically filters the displayed items by content type. In this example (shown with Clean URLs enabled), accessing the view through the path "http://www.example.com/content/page" displays all posts of the type "page", the path "http://www.example.com/content/story" displays all posts of the type "story", and "http://www.example.com/content" displays all posts regardless of type) 
 
 
 i thought that a "view" generates  a page (or block etc) containing the list generated
by the filters set in the views adminstration menu. this page will have a url (path, etc) (??)
 
but the way its defined here, path is an argument passed to "view" to set the filter (??)
 
could someone explain the diference and in, drupal 6.2, explain where to set the URL or path in the views administration menu?
 
thx,
brian
