Does anyone know how I can connect and use a Powertip PG240160C-P1 display with my arduino?

I've already searched for a datasheet for the display, but I can't seem to find one :-[

it's an LCD

I've heard that I can use this datasheet :

http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/127132/POWERTI...-C-A1.html

but where do I go from here?

Are there really supposed to be those dots in the link?

Well I could see the data sheet by searching the site in the link for a PG240160C.
Not that it is a very helpful data sheet. It is a 240 X 160 pixel graphics display. With 1 bit per pixel that works out to be a total memory requirement of 4.7K. This is twice as much memory as the arduino has, so it is not very practical to try and drive this display with the arduino.
