Re: Visual Age for RPG's future

If you open the GUI Designer, then click on the HELP menu item, you'll see
an entry for "Tutorial".  Click that menu item and you'll be prompted for
how to download a VARPG tutorial from IBM's website.

That's a good place to get started.

Another great resource is the IBM.Software.varpg newsgroup.
