Mike,
Launch iTunes (from the dock).
Click the Help button; click iTunes Help.
Click Contents, then Burning a CD.
It's pretty simple and the instructions are quite clear.
Note, if you want to share your newly burned CD with a Windoze user or if you want to play the CD on a regular CD player then you may need special format(s) not available from iTunes.
