I am brand new to this and excited. Can someone point me in the right direction to learn about setting up the front end type screens like the title. How is this accomplished or where can I read about it. I searched the website for tutorials covering that but could'nt find any.

The way I did it was too make a new room (have whatever background you like).
Create a GUI with a 'start', 'load' and 'quit' button on it (each button is an individual button).
Give each button a script name.
Copy the 'Activate' scripts from the original 'Iconbar' GUI (you'll have to create your own for the start button).
Place them on the room.
Test your game and they should work. Look in the tutorial for 'startgame' scripts.

You could also just draw the "Buttons" for start, load and quit (and probably settings?) on the background and treat them as normal hotspots - that's what I've been doing.

Reading the BFAQ is a good place to start. It's hard to do a tutorial for this, because different people will want different things from it. The basics, however, are very basic and as terrorcell says you'll probably pick them up from other places than a specific 'Title Screen' tutorial. If you can't find what you need by broadening your search slightly, post again.
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.
