Don't try to learn everything at once. Learn the simpler stuff and then tackle other things as they come up. Realize too that for many people they have to learn mathematics as well as the calculator (or any CAS). So don't be too quick to blame lack of knowledge of one subject on the other.
I found that the manuals mentioned in other recent messages are a good resource. Then it's just a matter of spending time with the calculator & trial-n-error explorations.
