Thanks for the book suggestions.  What I've found with virtually any 
documentation regardless of platform is how complete it is except for 
the problem you're facing at the moment.  IOW, Murphy's Law applied to 
documentation.  But the more perspectives on a problem means that each 
author might have found some issue others might not think is worth 
mentioning or simply gloss over it.  Ultimately, proficiency comes from 
making mistakes and learning what happened in order not to do it 
again--the book merely points out where the edge of the cliff is but 
its up to us to stop before we fall off.

Pax,
