3D-Studio 2.0 help needed!

Greetings.  I have access to 3D-Studio here on
a couple of campus machines and have managed to
produce some pretty stunning still images.  
Some of these have been logos, and what not, for
pseudo-clients of mine.

Recently, though, I was asked if I could do a
simple animation of one of the logos.  It's
pretty straightforward, or so I thought, just
having the logo stay in place but rotating 
about its own imaginary y-axis.  (Does that make
sense?  I know I've got the terminology wrong) 
I've spent many hours, frustrating ones, trying
to accomplish this, seemingly simple, task.
Unfortunately, I really don't have the background
to understand how tracks and keys work together.

I've been capable of moving the camera about the
object, but I need a stationary camera, and a
fixed rotating object.

Can any kind soul out there, who knows the answers
to these questions _please_ help me out?

Any sort of tutorial is welcome.

Thanks, much, in advance.
