Beginners should start here. The Introductory threads explain how to start Sherpa and provide an overview of using the application.

Getting Started:
- Starting Sherpa
- Obtaining data used in Sherpa threads
- Running Scripts in Sherpa (S-Lang or Python)
- ChIPS commands are used from within Sherpa to customize plots and create hardcopy output (PS, PNG, JPG). Refer to the Introduction to ChIPS thread (S-Lang or Python) for an overview of using that program.
