Are we talking about 3+Share?

Guide?  Ha, I don't think it exists.  I've tried ordering one (from 3com)
and got the Token Ring guide (whoopie).  When I finally got hold of someone
about it they told me 'Oh, we don't publish that anymore', this was someone
from 3com.  I think they are trying to get as many people on 3+Open and
forget about 3+Share Administrators/Users.

Look for a guide on NetBios, assuming you are using it.  All of my work
has been geared towards using it for administative things as well as mail,
a conference program, and a popup send/receive utility.  I have a number 
of things I've written that work rather nicely.  All in all NetBios is ok
but at times a little flakey.
