[GRASSLIST:188] getting started

I have absolutely no experience with GIS software, and am a bit  
overwhelmed by the startup costs of working with GRASS.  Can someone  
provide me with a GRASS FOR DUMMIES kind of URL or pdf? My needs are  
extremely limited - I basically need to create a map of the USA that  
shows visually the white and black "sex ratio" (ie, ratio of men to  
women for certain age cohorts) for each state.  I've installed  
X11.app and have downloaded (and installed) GRASS 6.1.  I don't want  
to bog the listserv down with stupid questions, more than I already  
have, but if anyone can point me towards a helpful primer, I'd  
appreciate it.
