Replacement For mosMainBody() in Joomla 1.5.

Hi EE -
I have just switched to Joomla 1.5 , for a new customer, and need a kick in the right direction. Previously, if I manually
 linked to  a joomla page , I would do something like:
      http://www.domian.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=54
      
for the link and then in the template page was a call like:
      
            <?php mosMainBody(); ?>

Now with Joomla 1.5 , this is has changed  ... I have read that  all I have to do is replace the :
      
          <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
            
                  with :
            
             <jdoc:include type="component" />  
                  
But this does not  seem to work.  I figure there has got to be an out of the box solution, to manually call an individual page (they are called "articles", now) and place it in a subpage. Any help will be appreciated.

PS  Just so you know, I have been looking at the  Joomla forum and a couple of tutorials, but have not found this.

Thanks -
