Actually, the documentation is far better that most I've seen. I'm am
talking about the associated papers you mention. That's all I used for
awhile when learning to use sam.
Combine those papers with the man page and tutorial, and the docs cover
everything from concept to execution of command. I'm still working on
internalizing the nuances of addresses in ranges like -0+,+0-, but most
of the other commands (even 't' and 'm') are comfortable.
