This is a great idea Gavin, I struggle constantly with new HP 3000 programmers. I have them read that series by George S. (I would like to have just a regular paper copy of that whole thing). They use the old MPE V study guide (I forgot about the HELPSTUDY thing), and the COBOL programmers go through my cobol columns. We even have them ready the Image Handbook now so they understand what the heck they are working with A comprehensive resource list would be a great benefit for these people. I am planning on putting my programming tips up on my web site (www.smga3000.com) as soon as I get around to converting them to HTML. Didn't Mark Bixby have a perl script to do something with the help system to HTMLize it? shawn ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Help for new HP3000 users Author: [log in to unmask] at Internet-Mail Date: 5/19/98 1:54 PM It occurs to me that we (i.e. someone) should setup a web page of links and information for people who are new to the HP3000. Something you can point out to people who are new to using/managing/programming or simply interoperating with, MPE. For example, the MPE :HELP facility includes a nice introduction to MPE commands and their syntax which is accessed by typing :HELP and then entering HELPSTUDY at the ">" prompt (just typing :HELP HELPSTUDY won't work). This kind of thing will become more and more important as we get a lot of new MPE users in the next few years. G.
