Ah, ok.  To add a material to an object,
  1. have the object selected in object mode
  2. in the buttons window, go to the materials panel--it's the little button with the ball icon, or F5
  3. make sure that the red ball button on the top of the buttons panel is also selected--this is your material panel; the one that looks kinda like bricks or something is the texture panel, which you may want to look at, too.
  4. In the links and pipeline box, you may see an 'add new' button or something that says MA: material, something like that.  There will be a little up/down button to the left of that, click it and there will be a list of all the materials in the scene that are available to you.
