After reading Armin's post about books, I thought it might be a good idea to start another one on the subject of a howto for users. I know that Armin has been thinking about this for a wee while and has perhaps got some notes already? However I thought I would add a couple of notes from advice I sent to another contributer. They might come in handy for a basic howto book in the future. By starting a book, we can all add our advice notes that can be collated/edited at a later date, this way advice for all abilities can be added.
