Not wanting to contradict my friend and former coworker (Alastair), but the
comment about Volume V that appears above is misleading.  If you want to deal
with Styled TextEdit, Hierarchical/Popup Menus, the Notification Manager,
and a number of other things that appeared with the Mac II and Mac SE, you
need Volume V.  You also need the TechNotes (available from many of the archive
sites or APDA) if you want to do real work as they tell you what errors
exist in IM as well as what has changed.
