Mesecca,

  Here is your first lesson, for free:  search the SAS-L archives.

  In particular, this is a pertinent post concerning you question that
occur within the past 2 months.

  If SI offers something for $125, you might not find much of use for
less.  Possible, but buyer beware.

  I am *not* certified.  I think I would study the documentation and plead
with this list for people to farm out (for the cost of their criticism)
jobs that they think are instructive, but you can find many examples in
the docs.  Also, with the disclaimer that I am not a legal expert, you
(and not your representative) may photocopy one chapter or one article for
academic or research use under US law.  That, of course, helps the
student/researcher.

Good luck,

Kevin
