Thanks, that makes it a little clearer. Now for the newbie dumb
question, how does the code know where to find the components? i.e.
<!--- Instantiate a component that adds two numbers --->
<cfset myAdder = createObject("component", "addsTwoNumbers") />
Do you have to create a mapping to a directory called component that
contains all of the CFC's?

If you're component is stateful, you'll want to invoke methods on the
same instance of the component instead of continually creating new
instances.
<!--- Instantiate a component that adds two numbers --->
<cfset myAdder = createObject("component", "addsTwoNumbers") />
<!--- Set first number --->
<cfinvoke
component="#myAdder#"
method="setNumberOne"
<cfinvokeargument
name="number"
value="2">
</cfinvoke>
<!--- Set second number --->
<cfinvoke
component="#myAdder#"
method="setNumberTwo"
<cfinvokeargument
name="number"
value="3">
</cfinvoke>
<!--- Get sum --->
<cfinvoke
component="#myAdder#"
method="getSum"
returnVariable="sum"
</cfinvoke>
<!--- Displays five --->
<cfoutput>#sum#</cfoutput>
There's a few different ways to write this....I'd probably use:
<cfset myAdder = createObject("component", "addsTwoNumbers") />
<cfset myAdder.SetNumberOne(2) />
<cfset myAdder.SetNumberTwo(3) />
<cfoutput>#myAdder.getSum()#</cfoutput>
