[Fluxus] 1st steps w/ Fluxus, a bit difficult

[Janis Geiger]

Hey
I'm using fluxus-017-rc5-1~lucid1~ppa
I think I got it pre-installed from the repository
http://ppa.launchpad.net/puredyne-team/ppa/ubuntu
- Apodio 8 / Ubuntu 10.04 -

I have some troubles with getting to know the functions in general, basically I'm trying to teach myself how to use fluxus or scheme, from scratch, maybe.
Is there a good overview describing common functions and there options?

So far, I tried using (help " ") plus the function I'd like to get to know, but some don't seem to have a help entry.
(help "when")
Function not found, did you mean one of these?
 when

the same happens for example with (help "set-searchpaths") as well.
Function not found, did you mean one of these?
 set-searchpaths

Is this normal, no help-definition defined or is there one that doesn't work?

I was trying to find out more about "when" in addition to (when (key-pressed)), just to know if there are other options you can trigger from, for example (when (always)) or (when (every-frame)). I also forgot how to use set-searchpaths properly, trying to add the examples-folder...

As I'm pretty new to the experience of fluxus, I'm a bit confused at where to look at, is it basically just scheme + custom fluxus commands?
But how can I find out about fluxus commands? If I would read through some basics of scheme, I guess I still wouldn't know about specific fluxus commands?

I'll try to export "helpmap.scm" to html maybe that will help.

Cheers, thanks
