<< HOW EXACTLY DOES MIDI WORK? >>

that's a big question for an e-mail reply... why don't you try web 
searching
the terms "midi" and "faq" [Frequently Asked Questions] in the same search,
and see what you find? 

I know there are sites that have the entire midi specs posted... I just 
can't
remember where. try the Syth Fool site and his links (www.synthfool.com) or
Harmony Central (www.harmony-central.com) and see where that leads? 

For a really good, non-engineer overview of what midi is and does (and
doesn't!!), go to your library and look for a book called Rockschool, vol 
2.
It was a companion book to a PBS series several years ago, and it has some
great info about the basics of midi and computer / music interfaces. 

hope this helps.
