As you stated this is a blitz3d forum.
Okay, CharacterFX is a pretty crap program. To bind skin to joints select the Edit Vertex Assignment tool and then right-click on it. A new small window will popup. This window has multiple tabs one of which has an apply button. Now select the vertex (marked by squares) and select a joint hit apply and the boxes turn red indicating the are attached to a joint. Repeat as neccesary.
When you are done doing this, use the drop-down box that says "Objects" and select "Animation". The Keyframer window will appear and you can start selecting frames and poses. If you need any help on the keyframer, the help has a section on it, i think.
