Very Basic Pen Tool Operation Question
Dont know why this is happening to me, but I am using the pen tool to create a simple curved line by holding down the left click button and dragging. After this is done, I a then want to make the next line connected to the curved line straight.
Every time I try to do this, I get a crazy curved line.
What do I do to get the next line to be straight instead of curved?

Dave, I think he just meant he was struggling with how to get the bezier-type curves to do what he wants. Alt-drag on the bezier handle to break the curve and then you can make it a straight line.
More info on bezier drawing here. I would suggest not just reading that page, but also lots of other pages there. It’s actually a very useful document with many pages linking to very good (free!) tutorials.– The Great Szalam
