Yet another series of dumb questions from a Noob...

The videos i have watched all show one screen obviously, and it shows all 5 shaman or mages doing the same thing at the same time, mostly. From looking at the screenshots on keyclone i see that you can pip your multiple accounts. when you choose each one, do you then have control over that window with mouse? is this how you would turn in quests/buy regeants etc?

Yes, basically, you setup a hotkey which switches your foreground window to the background and brings the secondary window to the front.

Am i correct in the assumption that all commands to the clones are done using macros and keybindings? (i told you i was a newb to all this). so if i put something in box 4, it casts box 4 for all toons cloned?

Essentially yes, Multiboxing is all about how you micro-manage your secondary characters and how adaptable you can be to the situation you are facing, macros and creative keybinds make this possible.

i see in some threads people talk about round robin a spell or ability. does that mean it will use the ability (lets say fear) on warlock 1, then when i hit same macro will do it on 2, then 3, etc etc or does it mean it will cast warlock 1, then pause, then cast warlock 2, then pause etc.

Round Robin goes like this. Press Round robin spell Button - Char 1 casts - Press it again - char 2 casts - press it again - char 3 casts, etc.

like many people thinking of multi boxing, i am a little intimidated by the logistics and how things work in this. i see people using 2 priests and a lock or vice versa and find it hard to wrap my brain around making all that work while only seeing from the eyes of one of them, and being successfull!

Its all about knowing the class and knowing what you need to use when.

I know what my other question was! how do you manage doing different collection skills between charachters? is there a series of macros to tell one to skin or herb or mine or do you physically have to switch to each toon to do so?

Its probably best to have collection skills on your main, this way you dont have to switch windows all the time in order to perform the skill :-S

also, one that doesnt really matter but an interesting question, if i jump, do all charachters jump? =)

If you have your jump key bound to be duplicated then yes.
