I got it not too long ago and played around with it just a tad bit. The interface is a bit confusing to figure out how to do advanced tricks like an overlay picture on a video clip that's running... Actually I've been wanting to know how to do that for a while.

Go to File>Import and import the image you want. It'll be in the Media browser in the top left. Then drag the image into 'Video 2' in the timeline. Move the cursor to the end of the block of time the image takes up and you can extend the amount of time the image is onscreen. Then go to the middle left subwindow and pick 'Video FX'. In 'Video FX', you can select the transparency of the image. I'm pretty sure that's correct.

thanks LukeAapparently there was no import feature available under file. now again maybe i have to restate it because the way i described it before might not be so clear.
for example, if i wanted to do a video and an idea came on. i'd want to put a picture of say a lightbulb i found on google above my head. and after two seconds i want to make it disappear.
anyway of doing this?

It's been a while, (I had the class where we used Prem. El. first semester) but if there's no File>Import option, then you should be able to drag and drop the image into the timeline or media browser.To make the image I would open it in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) and select the whole thing and paste it onto a blank photoshop document sized 640*480 and with a transparent background. Then erase everything that's not the light bulb and save as TIFF. Then once you get it into Premiere, you just drag the image around in the timeline and drag its end to set the length.
Like this one (http://luke.ament.googlepages.com/lightbulb.psd) (PSD), which still needs to be saved as a tiff with transparency
Here's (http://luke.ament.googlepages.com/lightbulb.tif) the TIFF version
