Maytag 806 Dryer Pilot Light

Can anyone tell me how to light the pilot on my 806?

There should be directions inside the gas door, but in a nutshell, turn the gas on, hold down the red lever on the gas valve, light the pilot, using a long match, or a BBQ lighter, keep holding the red lever down for about a minute or so, release the lever. Pilot "should" stay lit.

Thank you, hortly after I posted this, I found the answer by doing a Google search. I knew it had something to do with the red lever, but I didn't know where to apply the flame.
