[support] Newbie seeking documentation

[Bruce Whealton]

Hello all,
          I was looking at the documentation available on the drupal site and it's
  not as clear as to which pages one might want to turn to first to get comfortable
  with Drupal 5.x.y  In the past there was a set of handbooks that took one from
  start to the point where one understands all the basics like themes, menus, blocks,
  and content and related to content access rights for certain groups.  If I wanted to
  print something out from the documentation, what pages would be best to use for
  this overall information?
         It may be that my end users will need something very basic as well, very, very
  basic.  The idea is to give users who don't know HTML, much less CSS which is 
  nothing in comparrison to PHP...  I seek a basic, end user, set of documentation that
  would cover "using" the site, as it were, without being a web designer.
         Where might I turn to meet these two needs?  or what pages would be able to
  cover these two user needs, or topic areas?  I seek something of the form of "go here
  to such and such pages..."  Please.  
         
       I'd be curious as well about how others have used this software.  For example, has
  drupal been used in web sites where the users are not in any way web designers?  What
  role does an administrator have to play in getting a site to that stage where the end users
  can "use" the site, in the opinion of others on the list that have done this?
       Examples of how Drupal is used would be desireable...
  thanks in advance,
  Bruce
