Using Debian Lenny here, I only saw a demos folder under
/usr/share/doc/ams. Inside it were two files:

ams_sync_example_2.ams
ams_sync_simple_example.ams

They must have been left over from a much older version of AMS - which I
  found out wasn't even installed! After I installed the abovementiond
version from Debian, a whole bunch of things showed up to play with.

Anyway, doesn't help the original poster if he compiled from source.
Unless there's a way to get the instruments et al to use with his
compiled version?
