Default Dried bean question

Lid on or off to cook?

Should I add spices to the boiling water or wait till it is cooked and then add (What I have been doing cause of precious failures to actually cook the beans) What about ground meat and stuff, should I wait to add that til the beans are soft like they would be out of hte can?

Is there a nutritional loss to over cooking? or is there a gain? I mean noodles are best aledente, vegetables just soft, but what about beans? I really have no experience wtih them though I have been expiramenting for a week or two.
