Texturing procedurally generated geometry

Hi guys, I've created some geometry at run time and I'm looking into texturing it - there are various answers in the forums with regard to mapping UV's etc, but I wondered if anyone was aware of a more substantial 'how-to' guide that explains the basics? I've never attempted this before, so anything from the ground up would be great (BTW I've read the scripting reference on Mesh-UV's already). If not, could anyone run through some pointers?

Cheers
