Live's manual says I can learn about Max programming from the Help View. I do not see such a topic there.

They probably mean from Max's Help View.

Drag any default M4L device to a track. In device view click on the Edit button of the M4L device. Max will open. Under Max's menu bar go to Help>Max for Live. That will open Max's documentation and give you with the best links to get started. I suggest going through the Max tutorials first, then the MSP tutorials (and then Jitter if you're into video).

You can also download the M4L building blocks pack and look inside some of those devices to get an idea of how some simple processes are achieved with Max.
