Magma tutorial or examples

> I looked around for some more documentation or code examples but was not able to find any.  Can someone point me to sample programs that illustrate how Magma is used?

> the guide explains that in single user mode, one can use the new obejct store by executing

> Ie, the MagmaSession class>>openLocal: method takes a directory name rather than a particular '.magma' element.

> Is there a particular class or set of classes that I can look at for Magma examples?  That website has a good idea of information about their bug tracking system, but no particular illustration of using Magam that I can find.
