Re: VM/CMS Training Material
Under VM, there is and online XEDIT Tutorial called SELF-TEACH. To invok e it, at a CMS Ready prompt: SLFTEACH ENTER Here's what the introduction says: --- This is a programmed instruction course that will enable you to learn XEDIT more quickly than by other methods. The techniques used in XEDIT Self-Teach are: 1. An explanation of the command 2. Exercises so you can SEE what the commands do There are fifteen Self-Teach lessons ranging from basic fundamentals to intermediate macro techniques, and of course everything in between. The lessons can be used by the first-time XEDIT user or by an experienced user. - This may be helpful. Sherry Sharon J.

Re: VM/CMS Training Material
The google search did bring up hits at education institutions (i.e. colleges, universities), One mentioned was UK which, IIRC, did a lot with VM at one time, had user group meetings, etc. So I'm wondering if SLFTEACH ended up on an archive somewhere and can still be downloaded.

Re: VM/CMS Training Material
David, Nielsen has (had?) some excellent Rexx programmers here in Tampa but they had no working experience with VM/CMS, and that's one of the most important things for an Application Programmer (speaking from all my experience as one for IBM). Drop me a private note if you'd like to talk. Les Tracy, David wrote: All, We are going to start training an applications programmer in the VM/CMS environment.

Hi David, There used to be a CMS Primer and an XEDIT Primer that were part of the VM library from IBM. We used parts of those books to do our initial training for new mainframe developers. I don't know if they still exist or not, but they covered most of what you are looking for.
