It can combine, carve, or take the intersection of 2 objects. Pretty handy.
It's under compound objects in create objects. It always seemed to me that it belonged in modifiers though.

ok, i selected 1 object, did boolean. Picked the object i wanted to join it to as Operand B, then I clicked Union.

Now they are joined together flawlessly (without open edges and such)?
