please help -- a start-up tutorial ??

[Peter Mikes]

  Can you please provide a pointer to - 
  or e-mail me a file /instructions 
                                     which would illustrate
  basic operations of grass? 

   I have compiled grass and got to DONE and made links - and I do
  not see any tutorials except /grass/4.1/documents/SG3d.tutorial.ps
  is that a place to start? I want something which will illustarate
  how to extract (some) from world database, putthem on monitor,
  select layers, and print a .ps file with map. 
                      Thanks for any help. Peter  (pom at llnl.gov)
