Can anybody explain how to go about shading a polygon mesh with two shades (a different shade on each side)?

I checked the help files and couldn't find squat. I knew of a way to do this rather easily in Max and unfortunately after messing around with hypershade I couldn't find a way to do this. Not yet anyways. Sorry.

Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~

It was a bit of a fiddle to get it set up on my PC in the first instance, but its going fine now.
