MD5 hash

[Greg]

Can someone explain how MD5 is supposed to work?  I understand the concept of hashing files, but I don't see any .MD5 files created.  Nor do I see a variable that would allow me to list the hash in the files listing.

Thanks.

menu -> fingerprints
check "enabled" and "save new..."

at this point, right click on a file and do "copy URL with fingerprint"
an MD5 file will be created

Of course this question will be very stupid , but i don't understand - how REALY use (in practice) "MD5 hashes/fingerprints" in HFS.
Please include examples of using hashes in HFS - any (different) examples are greet!
