See if you can find someone who will give you a RNS file of a tune they've made. If not, you could look at some of the demo songs to see what they look like in the sequencer.
Some general tips:
* Always start off with a mixer - if you don't, you'll only be able to have one instrument!
* Better yet start off with two or more mixers - one for drums, the other for everything else
* Load up redrum with a drum patch and connect it's outputs to the drums mixer. You can then use redrum to create patterns, or you can sequence them yourself with the piano roll.
* Sequencing is much easier with a MIDI keyboard (if you play keyboard that is).
* Make use of the loop functions for coming up with ideas - for example you can put down a basic 4-to-the-floor beat, loop it over 8 or 16 bars while you come up with a bassline
* Combinator patches (Reason 3.0) are really cool. You can come up with a whole arrangement of instruments/effects and then save it as one 'item'.
