Parts of the following manuals might also be helpful: * Performing System Operation Tasks http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/B3265090484.13464/1 * Performing System Management Tasks http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/B3265090480.12946/1 * Getting Started as an MPE/iX Programmer http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/B3265090421.12013/1 Reviewing at the least the table of contents might be helpful to see if they have information useful for you. Some sections of the programmer guide, for example, do have nice "overview" style info that might not only be useful for a person aiming to become a programmer. Happy Holidays, Lars.
