My experience...I haven't found any paper that gets you started. The GUI and CLI are nearly identical in structure, though.
I knew a little bit but it wasn't until after I took Butch's MT class I really got into MT. Butch has a basic and advanced course. You will want to ask which is better for you, but I think it sounds like you want advanced. Also try [email protected] for MT stuff.
