Push clutch in.
Disengage gear.
Quickly allow clutch pedal up, and push it back down.  Blip throttle if 
downshifting.
Engage next gear.
Let clutch out.
Revel in self-righteousness.

The key is to get this all working smoothly.   The double-clutching part 
is just a quick pump of the clutch while you are between gears.   You'll 
learn pretty quickly...  a botched shift is a pretty strong negative 
conditioning stimulus.
