Simply too much work Volker. There are so many topics. Look at the intro stuff in the help about variables, functions etc. That is the info yoyu are looking for, but in plain text, not in a video, that's not practical for me.
Find yourself a small script which might interest you and try to understand / modify it.
Ab can be used by a new programmer, the language is not that difficult and you can easily achieve results. It was Ed's first language and look what he has done. But my help should be focused on using ab, not on teaching someone to program. If you want to take it up as your first programming language that's fine but don't expect me to be a general programming teacher.
You don't need the module but that would be a good way to learn.
Another tip, start a new script, name it test, and do Editor - program - template - horoscope, it shows basic things like a menu, load / save settings and how to get various info from the current horoscope. The go function is where you add your own code, after the screen is cleared with fill(). For instance
:go;
visible(0);
fill(0, 0, width, height, -2);
putstring(10, 10, "Hello world");
.. do other magic things.
visible(1);
return;
