Does anyone know a good article about the word *así*?

Question

This words always confuses me when I find it in the text, probably because it can have so many different meanings. Since it occurs quite a lot, help would be greatly appreciated.

I share your desire to grasp the usage of this particular word. - territurtle, Jan 5, 2012
