wondering if there was something better than the manuals, or should I just
use the manuals?  I haven't delved into them too far to see how good they are.

As you say, Softcopy _is_ the manuals. I.e., all those 'whitebooks' that
took up all that shelf space. For most licensed products there's not much
else to go to.

There may a 'redbook' on these products. They're _also_ available at
<http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com> where the white books can be found.
Also, for $250 per annum you can get a subscription to the redbooks on CD,
just like the Softcopy. The next release will be in PDF format, I think
instead of the Library Reader (BookManager) format.

These products don't seem to have wide enough use to get coverage from such
as Midrange Computing or News/400.
