in that case, i would suggest, that you start practicing with
one or two of the examples posted for the demo session of
our recent qm/mm workshop in philadelphia. see:
http://www.cmm.upenn.edu/qmmm2007.html

during trying out those we stumbled across a few useful
improvements of the cp2k code already, and since we have
already tried to set them up for different QM/MM code, they
would give a foundation for a future tutorial.

if i find a little more time over the weekend, i could add my
notes on making a biosystem work with cp2k for qm/mm to
the wiki-like part of this group.

there are also a few notes in the cvs on compiling and using
cp2k, that would be a good starting point for a tutorial and/or
user's guide.

cheers,
   axel.
