Help - is there any documentation for Smoke?

[adamt]

Im a totally new Smoke user, and i am having a heap of issues trying to get Smoke to work right, and part of the problem is because i cannot seem to find any relevant documentation.

Is there anything out there that might help provide a few clues about how to set up the application?

Specifically, I want to use Smoke Setup to direct Smoke to use a folder on my Raid as its default Media Storage Folder.  There is also one that was already entered (AutodeskMediaStorage) which appears to be pointing to the system drive on my Mac. I do not want Smoke saving media to this drive but i cannot figure out how to prevent it from doing so.

When i tried to create a project, the only volume that it will show is the one Smoke created on the system drive.

I tried to open the Manual Edit option on Setup, but without some kind of guidance - its all nonsense to me!

please help!
