How do I connect 2 or 3 images so that they act as one? Thanks.

Hmmm...I'm not quite sure that I know what you're asking. Can you elaborate a bit?

Like say I have two cubes. Link them together so that they move and have properties the same.

When cloning you have to check de INSTANCE or REFERENCE checkbox.

From max help:
An instance is an interchangeable clone of the original. Modifying an instanced object is the same as modifying the original.

References are like "one-way" instances. Referenced objects are based on the original object, as are instances, and can have their own unique modifiers. Any modification made to the original object is passed on to its references, but any modification made to a reference is not passed back to the original.

Anyways, the book probably explains how to instance two images together.
