The help file has very much of the info needed, even if some of it is
not in plain sight. 
 
Like passing the mouse pointer over the sample page in the help file,
using <F-1> and reading the web page. 
 
On top of this is the AGENT FAQ and the forte-agent newsgroup, with
many people able and willing to answer your queries on LEGAL copies of

both AGENT and   FREE Agent.
