Okay, I'm trying to start to learn MOO.  I've gotten the MOO Manual, and while
it is an excellent reference guide, it is about as useful for learning as the
DOS manual is for learning dos; as in, not very.  It would be very useful to
have a tuturial, something similar to Amberyl's MushManual, for MOO.  It would
be moderately difficult, as the different MOO are highly customized, but I'm 
sure that something to at least get one a basic competence with the programming
language could be done.  I would be very appreciative if someone would want to
undertake this project, and I'd be willing to help 'test' its usefulness, to
make sure things are clear and such.  Anyone with some spare time want to take
this on? Please?

See yduJ's tutorial, FTP from parcftp.xerox.com in pub/MOO/contrib/Tutorial.

Actually, the vast majority of what any MOO programmer uses is portable across
most MOOs; the customizations are often major, but a great commonality with
LambdaCore remains in most cases.

You might check out my tutorial, it's in the library on LambdaMOO, or
available by FTP from parcftp:/pub/MOO/contrib/tutorial (or is that
Tutorial?  well, check for both capitalizations).
