Req: Extending Thunderbird for Dummies

Anyone know of a site with really simple, step-by-step directions for adding some javascript to Thunderbird? I don't need general purpose info about javascript, but I do need handholding to figure out: 1. How you get TB to recognize scripts; 2. The specifics of interacting with TB's object model. So, a response to #1 would let me run a Hello World script from a button I've added to the TB interface, and #2 would get me started with a script that can read selected emails within TB.

Or is this like asking someone for really simple instructions about how to get started etching silicon chips?
