What's the best introduction out there for someone who's never touched M4 before?

The GNU manual is pretty good. You can run `info m4` or read it from the links here:

The default info pager is pretty horrible. I would recommend installing pinfo (usually available in official repos) which is an info pager with user interace similiar to lynx.
