IRA help - rolling funds out of a 401k

[Corey Demuth]

I have a 401k with my current job. It is all pre-tax contributions i.e. I did not pay taxes on the money that is in there. I have heard that you can roll your funds out of a 401k and into an IRA or other similar account. Can anyone elaborate on that? I am not being matched by my company so I would rather totally control it myself, and plus if I leave here then I don't have to worry about rolling it over then.
