whats up with some pictures man?!!
alright your going to want to hang them in a warm, dry place, and dark too. You could hang them in a closet or in a cardboard box seems to be the preffered method. let them dry for 1-2 weeks, until you can snap them stems, and there is no bending or stringyness to the stems.
Once you've got them dry, you will want to put them in sealed mason jars, fill the jars 3/4 of the way, there should not be very much air space, but some at least, so you can turn the buds in the jar. If you want, go ahead and wrap the jars in duck or electical tape to block the light out, and then you are going to want to open the jar and vent the nugs 3 times a day, for about 10 minutes, and every time you vent them turn the nugs. This is to help get the excess moisture out and keep your nugs from molding. if you don't vent them, and just keep the jars sealed up you will most likely end up with moldy nugs.
curing can take as little as 2-3 weeks, but the longer u cure, the better ur buds are gonna be. I cure my buds for 3-5 weeks, its all about preference, i like the best tasting buds i can get.
ive heard of curing for a year +, to get some unbelievable nuggets.

just to make sure that you're clear on what curing is,
the first part-the hanging, and such- is drying the nugs, the actual curing part is when you put them into the jars and all that.
I know what you are talking about with the screen, its a way to get the trichromes and such that fall while drying and trimming and make some fine hash, this is still part of the drying stage though, i believe

well the curing process takes so long, because it takes a while to dry and release all the chlorophyll, it is a long slow process. If you do not cure correctly, the chlorophyll will remain in your nugs.
Now idk about this screen thing you are talking about for curing? just sounds like another way to dry.. try and get your friend to at least throw some of the nugs in the jar so from here on out he will do it, trust me once he compares the smoke of the two he will never do it wrong again.
I'm sure you could do some searching on the net, and find out exactly what curing does, but the majority of what i know about it is it just gets out all the remaining moisture, and chlorophyll which is bad stuff- makes the nugs taste like straight plant, crackle and sparkle when you smoke, and it makes the smoke harsh too.
