Luckily for you, one very nice 83 programmer named Jimmy Conner converted all 
the asmguru tutorials into HTML and has them on his webpage at 
"http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/6963/" it was not until after 
I bugged him for many months last fall, that he put them up on his Ti-Magic 
page. Unfortunatley, James has _Many_ tutorials, and the HTML versions are 
not complete. One downside to not having the Win95/98 help file of asmguru is 
that you cant use that index of commands and stuff he has. But for now, this 
should help you alot by reading his tutorials in HTML at that site. btw, 
Welcome to the List. cya... =)
