- I suggest you start out by opening (and optionally printing) the manual,
- which is the file ntman.dvi which should be in /usr/tex on your machine
- (assuming TeX is indeed installed). The manual is rather out of date,

- of what all the different parts do and what the various files are for.
- Then, when you get NeXTstep 3.0, look through the manual again to see just
- how much has been added since the last release, as well as to learn about
- some of the incompatible changes from what you've got now.
