User Manual and/or FAQ?

Can anyone point me to a user manual or FAQ for this program? I'm coming from Newsbin Pro and Newsleecher, and find this program to be very fast and responsive. The only problem I have is with the many icons and options available to the user.
I have never used NewsPro, either, so I really don't have any clue how to efficiently navigate the various tabs and views, nor do I have a clue as to what many of the options do and the best way to configure them. For instance, I can't figure out how to tell the program I have four connections to Giganews.
This by no means is a criticism of the program. I just don't find the Help.txt as detailed as it could be, at least for me.
So, when someone gets a chance, can someone point me to a user manual or FAQ? Or, if this program is very close configuration-wise to NewsPro, maybe an online manual to that program?
Thank you for your time, and any assistance which can be offered.

This was originally written for Newspro. Many of the menu layouts have remained the same, however, so should be a good starting reference.

Looks great. Thanks for the reference. I guess I'll post again if I have any questions not covered in this tutorial.
Thanks again for the help.

I don't have much time at the moment to write anything detailed but there's a helpful tutorial (for NewsPro) written by Mike Stammer. It's a couple of years old but it'll give you a head start. Another, also for NewsPro, is located here.

Additionally you can install the trial of NewsPro and read its help file. Bear in mind that there are things which will not apply to Usenet Explorer.

I'am working on the Dutch Tutorial wich will be hosted on binaries4all.nl

On the moment the Dutch NewsPro can be found there.

Since I wan't to make it as complete as possible it will take some time for the UE-tutorial to come online. I will make a Quickstart however, wich will be "live" ASAP (probably somewhere at the end of june).

There will be a Englisch translation of that tutorial when we start the English version of our forum, which will probably be at the end of juli or august.

Looking forward to a UE-specific tutorial, but can find my way with the old NewsPro guides.
Thanks for all the help, gentlemen (and ladies, if any).
