The links are easy to find:

http://viaverio.com/support/virtual/email/procmail/docs/procmail.1.html
http://viaverio.com/support/virtual/email/procmail/docs/procmailex.5.html
http://viaverio.com/support/virtual/email/procmail/docs/procmailrc.5.html

Chances are, if the man pages don't help you, then you don't want to 
use procmail. There's a picture of the procmail code in the dictionary 
next to the word "spaghetti." :-)

BTW, what distro are you using that doesn't include procmail as a 
default installation package?
