I know this is going to sound strange, but if you have looked at the
code examples and the instruction set, just dive in and start writing
code.  You will find code fragments in the manual that should let you
do most of the basic things you need to do.  I know that it looked rather
daunting to me until I actually sat down and started dealing with the
assembly language.  It really is pretty simple.  The assembly is MUCH
simpler than doing 80x86 code.

        experience programming at this time.)
