greyscale image in photoshop
I am used to paintshoppe pro instead of photoshop. So I need to relearn how to do everything.
Can anyone tell me how to make an image grayscale?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? CS3 has a very nice new feature called 'Black & White'. Use it if at all possible.
If you have CS2, the most common way is to attach 2 adjustment layers to your image. The first being a Hue/Saturation layer like everyone has suggested. The second layer is a 'Levels' layer which will allow you to more finely tune the contrast & brightness of certain shades. The Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer in CS2 isn't very good - use the 'Levels' instead.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Lightroom is a really nice interface for post-processing, I recommend at least trying it! While it doesn't do anything that can't be done in Photoshop, the interface really does speed up my workflow. The "pick/unpick" interface is really great for sorting a shoot.
It's not without it's quirks, however, and I can only hope 2 addresses them.
Oh, and I HATE bridge, almost as much as I hate version cue.
