Hi Steve,

K, step by step....


1 create a cylinder at 0,0,0, scale to 0,0,5
2 hit the bend button
3 you will see the bend representation, (remind me to create a better one) 
looks like an upside down cone sort of :P
4 Change Object Axis 1 to be 0,0,0
5 Change Object Axis 2  to 0,0,5
6 Select the Clyinder that you just created as the object to bend in the 
pulldown combo box
7 hit the render button

For shapes not at the origin change the Object axis appropriately, up the 
Bend Smoothness if necessary, use the start/finish to move the bend or 
constrict it anywhere on the object.

I hope that helps

Regards,

Keith
