Getting Started for the STAGE2 Novice
								3/20/81

Step 1.	Print the following files:
		HELP.DOC
		USE.DOC
		INTRO.DOC
		DEMO.S2M

Step 2.	Read through INTRO.DOC but do not get bogged down in trying to under-
	stand it.  The idea on this first pass is to become a little familiar
	with what is there.

Step 3.	Run STAGE2 using DEMO.S2M for input.
		A>STAGE2 DEMO.S2M		; make sure printer is on
			or
		A>STAGE2 CON:,CON:=DEMO.S2M	; if you do not have a printer

		STAGE2 error messages go to channel 4 which is defaulted to
		the list device if nothing is specified on the command line.

Step 4.	Type the following examples and carefully observe the results.  Go
	through all of the examples once to become familiar with them but do
	not try to understand what is going on.  Then start over and do each
	example while referring to the listings DEMO.S2M and INTRO.DOC in an
	effort to understand the operations being performed.  Don't get dis-
	couraged as it may not make sense at first.  Perseverance is in order.
