[pluggo] newbie needing help with simple ( hopefully ) plugin

hello :)

first of all, max/msp.... wow, looks like the possibilities are endless, i can see its going to take a long time for me to get to grips with it!

ok, so on to my question....

im trying to make what  hope is a simple plugin but im stumped ( its my first project in max )

basicly what i want to do is have a vst plugin with a parameter which is automatable by the host application (ableton )and sends out pitchbend data over midi.
i understand i need to use a pp to make the parameter show, i also understand that 14 bit midi pitchbend has 16,384 steps. but after that, im stumped!

so, i need a pp control with a value of 0 - 16,383 which sends the data out to a midi port and channel ( both of which can be predetermined - im not worried about being able to change it ) as pitchbend data.

im sure for you seasoned pro's it will be a quick job to do, but having spent hours trying to do it im left scratching my head. ( and yes, ive looked at the tutorials)

can someone give me some pointers or even show me how i should assemble my plugin.

thanks.

Arran.
