I've at last managed to get my copy (here in this backwater called
Britain) of the new Libs & Devs. Fine. However, there is still a 
little bit missing. If you look in the Includes and Autodocs for
dos.library details, it says that's in the AmigaDOS manual. What?
;-\ This is a book that I have not seen on the shelves, and the
RKM's mention nothing about it being another in the series. Where
can I purchase this lofty tome?
 And now, a mild flame. If you read the RKM bit on Menus, and specifi-
cally the bit on menu numbers, the documentation says something like
"always use the macros MENUNUM(),ITEMNUM(),SUBNUM(), never the raw
number because it may change on other implementations." Fine, except
there are NO MACROS TO GO THE OTHER WAY!, so if you want to turn off
a menu option with OffMenu(Window,MenuNumber), for example then you
have to resort to the raw code anyway. Ah well, if it was a perfect
world I would die of having nothing to flame :-)
