Cool combination 3 switch help

I bought a Leviton combination 3 switch yesterday from Home Depot. I needed something smaller because I tiled a back splash and the old 3 single switches and plate cover extend beyond my tile edge. Of course, there are no instructions with this new combination switch. It will be controlling 3 overhead lights (kitchen, garage and outside lights). 2 of the old single switches have black, white and red wires connected to them and the other switch has black and black wires. I assume that is because 2 are running off the same circuit breaker.

The new combo 3 switch has 3 silver screw posts on one side, 1 black screw post on the opposite side and 1 green screw post on the back of the switch.

I realize that these will all be from the same circuit now and thats fine, but I am confused about which posts do the wires (black, red, white) go on. Also, what wires to I "cap off" in the box?

Thanks in advance,
Dan"
