I've just posted my latest tutorial on the Scribus Wiki showing how to use the bezier curve tool to create various simple geometric shapes. It's by no means comprehensive but it should allow beginners to use the tool with more confidence.
You can find it here: http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Bezier_Curve_Basics_-_Part_1_-_Simple_Geometric_Shapes

Great tutorial Gary, loving the Pac-Man ghost.
Thanks Michael.
Hopefully "Part 2" - when I get round to it (but I've already got some ideas) - will be even more interesting/useful.
