For the life of me, I can't figure out how to turn a B&W layer into a layer mask for another layer... anyone know how?

Nevermind I figured it out :-) Select layer transparency and then past into the new mask ...

If anyone knows a better way, feel free to post.

Ctrl-Alt-~ and the B&W layer becomes a selection, click the desired layer and add a new layer mask. The new layer mask will be the contents of the B&W layer.
