Difference between P and M modes in Kx

Hello, I am very new to using the P or M modes as i've only used the Av and Tv so far. Although I understand what the M mode is, I was curious to see what the P mode is, I found this website: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/KX/KXMENUS.HTM Unfortunately I don't really understand the difference between the 2, was hoping to be able to 'program' some modes (i.e tell my camera to go for f4 or so but happy to change if let's say my shutter speed is less than 1/30sec). Anyway I don't have my camera with me so it might make more sense when I can try/test it, but was wondering if people where using the P mode and if yes what for and how? Thanks!
