Set the aperture to what you want. Then press the green button (provided the second firmware update has been installed) - and the camera will choose the apropriate shutter speed. This is what is called Aperture Priority AE.
It's not, that's HyperManual. If you don't need to press the button to get the exposure, then it's Aperture Priority. Bruce is right below:

If you are wanting to use Aperture Priority with K/M lenses (pre A) then the D will not do that. It does have a hypermanual mode where you can set a custom setting to have hypermanual leave the aperture set and set shutter speed for you. Then all you would have to do is set aperture with the ring and press the green button for the shutter speed to be set. If the lighting changed, you would have to press the green button for a reading again.
Aperture priority in the cripple-mounts is available only with lenses set to A and the corresponding control (wheel or rocker). It is also available with SM lenses (but then you have a dimmer viewfinder as you stop down).
This does *not* mean that the HyperManual mode is unusable; people who make a living out of these cameras are quite fine with it.
