This is generally the first thing I try to do when entering a new shop.
Once you have a feel for the database everything else becomes easier.

I'd also advise - if you suppose to learn "Royalities", then it might be

good to do a search of Physical files, and flow chart their
relationships. 
 That way, when it's your shop and you tell the next guy to "learn 
Royalities", you also give him a tool that cuts his learning time.  Or -

like Jon said, if you've got RPGIII stuff out there, convert it.  If you

don't have the authority to convert it  yet, then start on your list of 
how many objects need to be converted, etc - stuff like that.

good luck

I'll advise a word of caution... don't rock the boat in a situation like

that.  Just do your job, and wait till you are more settled and can then

have leverage to do what you want.

This is the type of shop that runs by the skin of their whatever.

They don't embrace the new, the motto is if it aint broke, etc...

As far as learning the business, that would mean formally declaring that
I
have nothing to do. not sure how to go about this.

I have been told not to challenge authority.

I was told to 'learn royalies'. it consists of some CL and RPG's. There
is
not that much to do w/ it. IMO, you learn a system, by taking a users
call, by modifying a program, etc...
Not by sitting and reading CL's.
