Is there a ROOT manual in the conventional sense?

Maybe "trying to get off the ground" means that you are looking for a
absolute beginners quick start for root
("I need a tool to plot a picture of this ASCII data set within 2 minutes",
"What for hell is a canvas?").
Maybe you find it useful to look here:

http://pktw09.phy.tu-dresden.de/root.html

The page was especially written for our students trying their first steps
within root, but also includes a paw2root syntax conversion table for
PAW experts.
