Multimeter woes



Hi, not sure if anyone can help me but I am just starting out in
electronics. I have bought a multimeter so I can go through a book I
bought 'Starting Electronics' by Keith Brindley. I am trying to
measure amps on it but cannot see where I can do it. I didn't buy the
cheapest multimeter and thought it would do all of the basic functions
but cannot for the life of me find how to do it unless I measure the
resistance and voltage seperately. Here is a link to the multimeter I
bought.

any help would be appreciated, even if it is just to tell me I bought
a duff multimeter :(
