Curt, Under the "Window" menu drop down to "show pathfinder". Select the two objects that you want to weld and click the upper left box. It's a versatile pallett. Minus front, minus back, divide. Well worth examining.

You should take a look to those pathfinder. For instance, trim is very useful when 2 colors are overlapping.
This features has still evolved with Adobe Illustrator 10; It is now a live effect. Meaning the resulting shape is a compound path so if ever you move one path (supposing the circle in your sample), the result of the combo is automatically updated. Very powerfull to create frames for instance !
