How do you pitch bend without a controller or a wheel?

Hi,
I'm new to Logic LE9 and I'm trying to create the effect of a slide on a midi bass line. All I want to do is slide from A to B. I've looked everywhere on the internet for advice and it looks like one place to do it is in the hyper editor.

But once in there, I can't work out exactly what to do. I've located the note, I know that I need to draw some bars in the Pitch lane above the note, but I don't know how the numbers correspond to the notes when I'm drawing the bars.

If I had a pitch wheel on my keyboard or a bass, this wouldn't be a problem, so I spose I'm asking, how do you do it manually?

Thanks...

Thanks for the reply, I've found the Hyper draw function in the piano roll which is a bit easier to get my head around.

But I still have one more question, for the values 0-127 in pitch, and if a value of 64 is the un-bent note, would a value of 127 represent two semi-tones above? It sounds like it could be, but it would be good to know what these values represent.
