  // $form_state['values']['status'] = 1; // set the node's status to Published, or set to 0 for unpublished

  // CCK field examples for CCK in D6
  // $form_state['values']['field_mydropdown']['value'] = 3;    // a select (dropdown, where 3 is the "option" value saved to the db
  // $form_state['values']['field_myuserref'][0]['uid']['uid'] = 'someusername';  // a user reference example
  // $form_state['values']['field_mycheckbox']['value'] = 1;  // a checkbox example
  // $form_state['values']['field_mynoderef'][0]['nid']['nid'] = '[nid:9]';  // a node reference example. In this case, 9 is referring to node 9

    // Call the function to create the node, node_revisions, and CCK values.
    // Replace "story" with the name of your form / content type
