Diode help... HELP!

Hi,

Once again demonstrating my vast quantities of ignorance...
I need a diode which completely blocks current in one direction
and presents as little resistance in the other direction
as possible. I bought a fist full of little glass ones at
Radio Shack for 50 cents. On my Ohm meter, they show no
conductance in one direction and 1400KOhm the other way.
What do I need to get? RS (which is the only resource I
have available, I need them like _NOW_) has many different
kinds of diodes, ranging up to two dollars per pair.

Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink
