You sound pretty freaked out, which is certainly understandable if this is your first time seeing AHDL, and new to programming in general. I don't have much experience with AHDL, but I might be able to help you out (though I'm not promising anything).

Are you following a lab guide, if so what software tools does it ask you to use (i.e. Quartus, ModelSim, ect)? I ask because I know, for VHDL at least, there are many EDA simulator programs that can be used. However, if you're just having problems with understanding the language I would suggest doing a Google search for AHDL pdf's.

Without knowing what tools you're using I can't help any further.
