Could someone help me with this?

How do I:

1)Create a Lambert material with Shading Group turned on, and
2) How do I make a ramp shader with New Texture Placement turned off?

I dont understand how to turn on "Shading Group" and how to turn off "New Texture Placement".

I am doing the tutorial on the alias web page(under downloads) for making a ghost shader. Thanks in advance.
