Cascade --
Take heed of Herman's suggestions. They are very good, as is Gordon's
suggestion regarding Howard Bandy's book "Introduction to AmiBroker".
AFL "looks like" 'C'. And the two languages have many characteristics
in common. However, there are many differences as well. I came to AFL
with significant 'C' programming experience. Overall, I would say that
experience made my learning of AFL even more difficult, because I made
some very wrong assumptions about AFL in the beginning.
If you have not yet purchased a book on 'C', don't. If you have, don't
read it. 'C' is a wonderful programming language (the very best in my
opinion). However, it is NOT AFL. And, at this point in time, it would
only make your learning of AFL more difficult.

Did you try the AmiBroker main menu: Analysis -> AFL Code Wizard?. That
should give you the basic idea.
Next download progressively more complex programs from the library and
run/analyze them. This would expose you to a broad range of programming
styles, more than you would find in any single book. Howard Bundy also
wrote some excellent books that could help you.
Then there are many sites with examples, AmiBroker site, the Knowledge
Base, the user Knowledge Base, AB university, many Yahoo lists, etc.
If you have specific problems post on this list.
good luck,
herman
