Turning your M20 recordings into one track cd recordings

Hi guys, this is going to prob seem a pretty lame query but I am new to all this stuff so I'll ask anyway. I have recently purchased the M20, great desk love it.
I recorded a couple of tracks onto SD card and played them back and they are all sweet. Loaded them onto my P.C. and now need to ask how do I actually transfer and combine the solo tracks on to CD.
Is this something I need to do with a programme such as wavelab etc. Can I then also mix it down and fine tune it a little more in the process.
As I said this is prob really basic and I do apologise but any help would be greatly appreciated as the only tutorial video I can find is about the stuff I already taught myself about recording down onto the SDcard.
These desks are very new here in New Zealand and at the moment I am one of only five in the country so support and knowledge base here is pretty slim.
Cheers guys.
Yes, you need another software application on your computer to combine the tracks into a single stereo track (e.g. *.wav or *.mp3 file) and create a CD of the output. The latter part is pretty easy - most computers come with standard CD-audio creation utilities. The former part requires a specific audio application, usually a multi-track recording program. Something like Garageband would work for you in a mac environment. For PC you might want something like Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm/). Reaper is a bit more complicated, but very powerful and great value for the $$. You can use the very basic features to do what you need, and explore it more deeply if/when you want.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
