how to get started with spice

greetings gurus

i've been trying for some time now (though admittedly off-and-on) to
self-learn basic electronics, and it's painfully clear by now that i
have rocks in my head in this respect. what i AM quite good at,
though, is mathematics and language learning (including programming
languages), so my idea is to try using spice as a way of puzzling out
what the books are trying (with so little success) to tell me. to
realize this goal i need to find a suitable spice interpreter and
some clear directions for doing what i want to do, which is feeding
spice-language code to the interpreter and getting the information it
returns about the circuit in question. the freeware/demo applications
i've looked at so far have extensive graphical interfaces but i can't
piece together how to enter code directly or whether that's even
possible. any help would be much appreciated.

peace
