Default A few basic questions...

Hi, I'm new to lightwave and would really appreciate a couple of tips...

1) Point Positioning:
When I make a point, I can't seem to be able to position it easily... Like, I know in my head the exact X,Y,Z coordinates that I want it to be in but when I press "N" I'm only able to change the amount of offset I'm going to apply to the position rather than what I want which is just to type in the coords for the new position.

2) Smooth Curves to Straight lines:
. .
. . .

OK, When I'm connecting up points I've created in preparation of lathing them, is there any way I can have a "make open curve" type scenario where there's a gap along the axis I want to lathe along but to also have a couple of "not curved" right angles along the way. Sorry bout the useless wording, hope someone can desipher it and help me?

Cheers
