PLEASE HELP!!! Congo Jr: Inexperienced

I am a HS teacher  trying to learn the Congo Jr system.  I have limited experience in lighting design, to say the least, and the board is the largest challenge I have.  I also have several clay packy instruments, and would like to learn how to use them to their full capabilities within the context of the shows I'm doing.  I sincerely apologise for my ignorance, but would wash cars to get ay help I can.  I do know that the congo jr system I'm working with is NOT the v6, or most recent.  Is there any place I can get some help?  I've looked at the User manual, and it's helped a bit, but not much. 

Again, any help is sincerely appreciated

    Scotty,

    Definately follow the advice to view the video tutorials on the console or online & as suggested, upgrade to the latest version of the software.

    Take some time to get used to basic operation of the console before diving into the Clay Paky instruments. I know they are there & they can do some sexy things, but it's better to have a good understanding of how to get light on the stage & some confidence about what you are doing, than sweating over whether a moving light is going to wiggle in the right direction. Hopefully, since it is early in the school year, you'll have time to deal with them later.

    I use a full size Congo in a school district facility. I'll be glad to respond to questions & offer help directly via email at kellison@henry.k12.ga.us, if you wish.

    Good luck,
