Default Pen Tool-ing

So I was wondering, what can you really do with the Pen Tool in Photoshop?
I really want to try it out, I mean I've used it before, but things turned out horrible hahaha.
Any good tutorials or something?

The pen tool is usually used for vectoring or creating custom shapes, but it can also be used to edit the paths of premade shapes or text.

if you wanna learn how to use it more efficiently, the best place i can recommend for tuts is probably deviantart.

Oh yeah. One quick question, entirely related to Pentooling. Since it doesn't deserve it's own thread, for it is a stupid newblet question ... is pentooling avaliable in Element 6.0, or just in CS3 / CS2?

Hmm the pen tool was there since what, Photoshop 5?
I think it is not included in elements tho.
