reprap software manual

I cannot find a manual (or a wiki or anything of the sort) to explain how the reprap software works and what the different parameters are.
It is quite straightforward to understand how to load an STL file and all, but I cannot quite get the meaning of all the tweaking parameters.
Also, I just succesfully finished my very first print test (YEs !!!! even though there was no filament yet) and now the machine is parked and waiting, apparently still warming up the extruder for nothing. It seems like a designed feature, but without a manual I have no way to know if it really is.

How hard did you look?

not hard enough it seems... my mistake!
Thanks for the link. It could be good to show it from the software installation page, I'll add it.

It doesn't seem like there is any info about the ending of a print though. What happens when the print is finished? My version of the code places the Y-axis at its maximum value, parks the extruder and waits. It looks fine to me, except that the extruder keeps heating and there is no 'finish' message.

Link added in the 'further reading' section

I use Skeinforge, move the head up 5mm and then to X = 100, Y = 200 (bed sticking out).
No, the Host never shows as finished but you can load the next gcode file and start the Print without any problems.
