Hi Stephen, Welcome to the world of HP! 3k's in particular hehehe :) First of all, Check with your local Regional Users Group (RUG) for the seminars and conferences that they put on...these are really of great educational value and you get to meet lots of people who work on HP boxes :) Second, just keep reading this list...The Gurus of the HP world are on here :)!!! Besides, HP employees regularly are on here to help us out too! Art "I take a couple of days off and get 600+ emails?!?!?!"

I've been working on an MPE system for about 3 months now, after 10 years on an IBM m/f. I do applications development and am looking for helpful tips that will get me up to speed, relative to IMAGE, Robelle products and the MPE system overall. I really admire this OS, it's much more friendly and flexible than the IBM I came from. I hope to become as fluent in this OS as I did with MVS.
