HOW TO ADJUST IDLE SPEED? (long)

I recently read in a mechanical bulletin that you can adjust your idle speed through a screw of some sort near the throttle body. I'm not sure if I read it correctly or not but it does seem as if it is not too difficult to adjust the idle speed.
I have begun to believe the shudder and hesitation when shifting from a non-power gear (p or n) to a power gear (r or d) is caused by having either too high an idle speed or too low. I am leaning toward too high... so when I shift to d or r and put a load on the engine, the speed drops significantly (maybe as much as 500 rpm) to catch up with the load. It seems my tach should show this and but it seems to idle at pretty close to 1000... not that unusual, I think. If it is too low, the tach will not show a speed lower than 800 or 900 rpm and it might be that it actually has to raise the speed to catch up with the load. If I am able to adjust it myself, I should be able to tell.
Anyway... if someone can direct me to the appropriate procedure or modification point, I would certainly appreciate it.
