sherry, maybe what I was thinking as far as a tutorial goes was the tour they had available to take, which shows the kinds of records and such that you can keep. To really get to know a program you will need to click the Help button and start reading. I know, I know, reading through all of that is boring, but all the answers are there. That's how I just learned to use it and I'm loving this program/calculator for sure! After you read through it, if you need better clarification on some parts, just give a holler.
