I found the manual quite hard. And the sample code didn't quite gel for me.

I've used it seriously -- at eg
http://coldframe.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coldframe/coldframe/Event_Test.test/

The above doesn't have a Software Test Description, so you have to use
your imagination; Harness is the main program, Suite calls up the test
cases, Test_* are the test cases.

But this isn't by any means the only organisation possible.
