new to adobe - please help

I have recently started using adobe illustrator 10 and have downloaded a business card template. i am trying to figure out which box is the border of what will actually print - the "artboard" line or the "edge" line. for example, go to the toolbar and select "view". from there you can choose to either show or hide the artboard or the edge. which one is for the frame of the busness card? thanks.

Open that book that came with the software. :)

Timothy:

That's a VERY dangerous thing to say. So politically incorrect.

xstatic:

Timothy is absolutely right. I know it sounds harsh and cynical and unhelpful, and it is, but you can't expect to get very good results using a professional graphics program, and approaching it from the "artboard thingie versus edge thingie" angle.
