I subscribe to the view that "The Amiga computer cannot be programmed with
any competency without the RKMs (Rom Kernal Manuals)."  The older manuals,
"Intution", "Libraries & Devices", and "Exec" are all *VERY* useful to the
programmer (even today -- though they are being replaced with newer books).
Want to open a window?  A screen?  Read the first couple of chapters of the
Intuition book, and you'll be doing it.
