"kein" is a negative indefinite article, basically.
"Ich habe keinen Apfel" = I don't have an apple
"nicht" can go anywhere in the sentence (not second, of course), although it would obviously look/sound very strange in some places The intricacies of such word order are not for me to explain.

I know the kein one, the nicht is where I don't get answers
Yep, you're right If you have a copy of Hammer Grammar, then it's under 17.1.4.
If you don't have a copy, then I'd strongly recommend it (the same goes for any A2+ Germanist - the book is highly recommended by teachers and university tutors).
Here (Page 271, number 13) are a few examples of the rule from the solutions pages of "Essential German Grammar" by the same author (a more concise/simplified version of Hammer Grammar).
I told you the correct answer, and now you're recommending me grammar books?
I have both, but I haven't had any use for them since early 2007. Also they're in the UK. They are very good though, I'll give you that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to do so condescendingly, I'm just saying that they're excellent books (and I mainly wanted to recommend it to other students - I would have been surprised if you didn't have them )
