BUMP

I Just tried the coffee filter-ziplock method on pepper seeds. I put them in ziplocks 4 days ago and already some have started sprouting. Now I need help!!
How do I proceed. I know I need my growing medium damp and ready for a plant. Do I make a small hole to plant in or can I lay the sprout on top of medium and sprinkle a little peatmoss on top and dampen it with a mist? Do I start taking each sprout from the coffee filter as they sprout or wait till most have sprouted and do them all at once? Do they need to go under lights immediately and what is optimum temp for these young sprouts? Germination is looking real good so I dont want to mess up now. First time trying this method but I think I like it for peppers but most likely do my Tomatoes the old fashion dense-seeding(thanks Craig) way.
I need some responses soon cause I have to do something with some of them today i think.

thanks
ron
