Clicking on the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette will
create a new transparent layer. My guess is you're having trouble with the
layers you already have. you have several options.
You can erase the portions you want to be transparent.
You can make a selection using any of the selection tools--marquees, lassos,
magic wand--selecting what you wish to remain and then select inverse and
delete the offending pixels.
You can add a layer mask to the parts you want to be transparent, which can
also be done with the selection.

| Alt double click the bg layer to make it editable. Erase or mask the area
you want transparent. Save in png, gif or similar format that allows
transparency...
