Manufacturing Module Work Flow and Basics

Question

Hello All,
I have been working with Creo since Pro/Engineer 2001.  Currently we are still running Creo 3.0 but have purchased a new Sodick Wire EDM.  Realizing it was time for a  CAM package, I decided to stick with PTC and add Production Machining Seat.  I am running into some very basic issues being that there is very little documentation or tutorials available on this subject.  The workflow is so far, incomprehensible to me.  I have no clue how to get started, what is necessary to configure and what is not.  There also seem to be only 3 options for machines in the post processor.  I have never written a post and have no clue what is involved.  I have not been successful in finding anyone that offers training in the manufacturing extension.  I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me get started specifically with Wire EDM functions.  Thanks in advance, Chris.
