I could not find the book that Gilles referenced, but I did find a copy
of the "System Administrator's Quick Reference Guide" at
http://www.hpmmsupport.com/information_links/html_manuals.aspx?Manual=B3265090322.10425&Directory=5000#.UWmFPILN6t8
(
watch out for wrap). There are lots of other HP3000 manuals at that
site also.
Good luck. Glad to hear someone trying to learn the machine.
