newbie question: How to Current limit?

BBnewbie question: How to Current limit?
My dumb question is:  
 
 
 
How do you current limit a variable DC power supply. I was told you select the voltage you want then ( turn power off)  
 
short the positive and negative terminals. turn on the power supply and adjust current..quickly..  
 
 
 
Is this right? or should I short the positive terminal and ground terminal, does it matter, or what is the preferred way.  
 
 
 
Trying not to get hurt...while learning about this neat stuff!
