I got some black mollies from my friend, and want them to give me more baby mollies. So how should I set the enviroment to let them give birth soon, thank you.

well, assuming you have both male and female mollies you don't need to do much to get them to breed. they are pretty promiscuous little devils and don' need much help to get going with the "cycle of life" http://petshub.com/ubb/smile.gif
the only problem is after the female has the babies... they may eat them. although mollies are said to be the least likely of all the livebearers to eat their young.
you will want to provide plenty of hiding places, caves, plants( real or fake) and large gravel for the fry to hide in. if you want all of them to survive i suggest setting up a seperate, small, tank to place the mother in before she has them and then take her out and let the fry grow- you will find plenty of information about this in detail on the rest of the web.
good-luck
