You can download the manual from otn.oracle.com. Membership is required, but it is free.
I believe that online documentation is available at http://tahiti.oracle.com
Your options for displaying "real time" data will depend on exactly what you mean by terminals: dumb or PC, if each terminal should display the same or different information, and by real time.
With a client process running on a PC polling or waiting for a possibly terminal specific alert to be issued are possibilities. See dbms_alert package.
