[Antennas] MMANA and EZNEC Tutorials

Are there any tutorials for EZNEC and MMANA on the web?  I finally broke
down and acquired the ARRL Antenna book which includes EZNEC-ARRL, a
very limited version of EZNEC.  Before this, I downloaded a copy of
MMANA and tried using it, but not with much success.  I obviously have
much to learn.  

I went through the EZNEC tutorial, but all I learned is how to make a
dipole.  I have a couple of ideas about antennas I want to build and
test but I would much prefer to model them and see how they work before
investing time and money into another pile of scrap metal.

One of the antennas I would like to model is the multiple dipole in
various forms.  For example, a single feed line into three or more
dipoles with a common feed point but parallel wire lengths at various
spacing.  Also to see the difference if I put parallel vertical wires to
feed the same dipoles.

Thanks,
