Bill: The best introduction I found were the SystemView manuals, both System Manager and Managed System Services. Not because they discuss the APIs, but because System Manager essentially implements the APIs and provides command shells for them, and the manuals give examples of using the commands in your own CL programs. For example, it provides a CRTPRDLOD (Create Product Load) command. In general, you can follow through their usage examples and mentally translate between their CRTPRDLOD command and the Create Product Load (QSZCRTPL) API. As each command is discussed, you get a good picture of when, why and how to use the relevant API in your own programming. I'm pretty sure their manuals weren't intended to be API training guides, but that sure didn't stop me.
