where is the automator documentation?
Trying to learn Automator to do a few simple things but can't locate any Apple Manuals. Don't feel like buying a $30 book unless necessary - where's the docs?

Apple provides very little. There's this, and Automator's Help files, but not much more.

Try these. The first is not hosted by Apple. The second is on the Apple Developer Site. You do not need to be a paid developer to access these. Use your Apple ID and password, or ... not.
Apple's totally remiss in providing details. These are dated, but should get you started:
Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html

http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/examples/ex04/index.html
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2241804 for links to a four-parter by Sal Saghoian on Automation in Snow Leopard but should apply to the new iOSified OSs.
