natural light with flash

Having actually owned one of these cameras, let me give you a few realistic tips.
1. Invest in a tripod. Buy one that will put the camera at eye level when you are standing. You'll have it for a life time, so spend large.
2. The SRT101 will realistically only handle up to ISO 800 film, but you should get very good results with ISO 400. (I hate extreme photography)
3. Buy a good cable release about 12-24" long.
4. Invest in a good quality, small flashlight that you can leave in your camera bag, if you are planning on doing a lot of night shooting.
5. Buy and learn how to use a light meter. Don't just rely on the camera's meter and the guide on the back of your flash.

Night Photography
Things you will need.
A good sturdy tripod - keeps your camera steady and you can
use it to fend off attackers and dogs
Cable release
Rain-jacket Umbrella - your jacket should not have any
reflective tape on it. Sometimes if your
viewfinder doesnt have a cover, like your
camera, the light from your jacket can
bounce back into the view finder.
Flashlight - this is good to see the controls of your camera
Whistle - to attract attention just in case you get attacked or
robbed. Its best to bring someone along with you.
Light meters preferably a spot light meter its more useful
especially when your subjects are far.
But hey your on camera light meter should do the
trick. Center weight is good.
Some quick useful TIPS:
1 You can use any film ASA you want. All will be able to take good images. Its really up to you on how you like your colors.
ISO 100-200 you experience color shift more on the warmer side (oranges) when these films are exposed over 1 min.
ISO 400-800 These color film will give you closer colors to what we are used to seeing. But then the grains start to come out. If you like grainy images, then go right ahead.
ISO 1600 Well as long as you dont over expose it the colors will be just as good, but the grains will really show up.
Black and white. same stuff except for the colors, but the grains are and will always look better. It will definitely enhance your image. Its best that you process and print your own. Expose your B/W 1 stop over and process it normal. You will have great results.
Play around with the shutter speed with respect to the f-stop.
Bracket your exposure even up to 4 stops you might like it. Try making 2-4 min exposures. Go extreme. Point your lens to a unlit house or something. Show some stars and expose it for 2 hours, try it bud.
Night Photography is always best with available light. Although you can use fill flash to give nearby subjects for some highlights, depending on your composition.
Oh yeah shoot a cityscape with some cars moving along. Try this also after the rain.
Well this is all for now. Hope I didnt bore you will my yapping.

Fast film, fast lens.
For film, you could try Kodak TMAX for black and white (either ISO 400 or 3200) and for color perhaps Fuji Superia X-TRA (ISO 800). The higher the ISO, the better for low light.. but you also get more grain (which isn't necessarily a bad thing for the feel of your pictures).
It looks like the Minolta 101 came with a 50mm f/2.0 lens, and that should do fine. If you have other lenses, anything with an aperture under f/2.8 should be okay. The lower the f-number, the better. Anything f/1.4 or lower would be phenomenal.

Buy a good, steady tripod and a remote (cord or cordless) remote shutter release. Then choose the film best suited for what you are shooting. It could be a fast film but the faster film has more grain. Yet some B&W shots taken by street light (or the moon) are extremely grainy but the effect is terrific. If you are going with color you should also be aware of color shifts for long exposures.
I would also bracket the exposure but take them in increasing long times. It might take several shots to come up with the best exposure and if you want to make sure, you may have to take 10 different shots.
Have you tried Infrared film? You get some great weird effects.
