You know, APDA will sell you updates.  If you have APW 1.0 or later, all you
need is the APW Tools & Interfaces 1.1 package, which has all the current
interfaces and a bunch of nifty tools.  Mike Westerfield will also update
you to a current ORCA/M for a reasonable fee.

DrawPopUp was in preliminary 5.0 documentation but is no longer supported
externally.  It's used by the system to help manage pop-up controls.

All LLD Print Manager calls were obsoleted around System Software 2.0, when the
Print Manager architecture was redesigned.  I have an article in the upcoming
(October) develop about printer drivers which will explain this in a little more
detail.

At one time, TextEdit was going to support page breaks.  This was eventually
removed because it was becoming a problem and wasn't incredibly useful.
Again, it was listed in preliminary 5.0 documentation.  (In actuality, some of
the code to do this is still present, but it assumes an outdated TextEdit record
structure.  If you make this call, you are sure to toast your system.)
