Thanks jjclancy, but what I am after is how do I actually make a booking using the Matrix information.
For example, I have done a search on Matrix to give the following info (for a purely fictitious booking):
Provide this information to a travel agent to help them match the fares found.
Make sure to provide the exact booking and fare codes shown.

What I was looking for is how best (or which is the best TA) to make such a booking through (assuming that I cannot get as good a fare from a TA or the online sites). I don't think I can somehow give this info to vayama.com (etc) to get the best fares available on Matrix.
