Last week I finally got my hands on Toolbox Reference Vol. 3, and as I
was typing the new stuff into my APW macro files (I'm using a REALLY old
version of APW, so I have to update the macro files manually), I noticed
something strange.  I noticed that there were some gaps in the tool
numbers, and upon looking up the gaps in the TML Pascal UNIT files, I
discovered that there were several calls which aren't documented in the
Toolbox Ref.

Anyway, these are the calls that I found in TML Pascal but not in the
Toolbox Ref.:

     Name                Number    Toolset
     ----                ------    -------
     _DrawPopUp          $3D0F     Menu Manager
     _LLDStartUp         $1913     Print Manager
     _LLDShutDown        $1A13       "      "   
     _LLDControl         $1B13       "      "   
     _LLDBitMap          $1C13       "      "   
     _LLDText            $1D13       "      "   
     _TEInsertPageBreak  $1522     TextEdit

I admit I'm not too sure how far to trust the TML Pascal stuff (after all,
in the manual they included the Macintosh SANE file instead of the IIGS
SANE file, and they list routines _TEGetHooks and _TESetHooks using the
call numbers for _TEOffsetToPoint and _TEPointToOffset respectively, but
with VERY different parameter lists...).  In spite of this, my curiosity was
aroused.

Is there anybody out there who knows if these routines actually exist, and
if so, where I can find documentation for them?  (IIGS Technical Note #36
would seem to imply that the LLD calls don't really exist--is this
correct?)
