GU: learning GAMESS source

Dear,

I would very much like to 'learn' the GAMESS source code. I am into 
quantum chemistry, but like the largest part of people doing calculations 
I have thusfar been occupied primarily with doing calculations using some 
other man's programs. As such, I know a fair part of the theory behind 
the practice of quantum chemical calculations, but have little experience 
in the art of programming the theory.

I would like to know how you would advice me how to 'learn' GAMESS. I am 
not (yet) interested in e.g. CI, MSSCF, TCGMSG parallel routines (that is 
: not interested in knowing the source). I would like to use GAMESS in my 
doctoral thesis to show how a 'real' (= none-blackbox) SCF level geometry 
optimization works.

Thanks,

Patrick
