1. Getting Started
1b. Auxiliary Programs - for more details on IDF Editor if desired
2. Example files - find an example file which matches what you wish to model 
and examine the objects in it.
3. Input Output Reference - this is not meant to be read in sequence.  Rather 
look up specific topics as needed.
4. Engineering Reference, only if you are interested in the equations and 
algorithms.

I am surprised by this question.  But in general, error messages will reference 
specific objects in the input file, then look in the Input Output Reference for 
details on how the object is intended to be used.
