Pentatonics again

Neil,
I've been trying to figure out pentatonic scales in other modes besides Ionian (Major) and Aeolian (Minor). Thought I had it, but I went to the Internet to verify, and I found all kinds of confusing information. I have Ionian and Aeolian pentatonics under control.......somewhat. I can figure out the other mode scales, but I am doubting myself on figuring out which notes to play for pentatonics.
It would really help if I could see someone I trust play through all seven modes (Key of A would be perfect) in the first position only and then play the respective pentatonic scale in first position. Once I see the correct patterns, I think I can take it from there. I'm not sure how much I will actually use this, but I really would like to get it lodged in my mind for future fuel. In the near future, I expect to be jamming with much more advanced musicians than myself. I think this will come up, and I want to be prepared.
Thanks,
