That's why I've found the Programmer's Online Companion invaluable.  With
just a couple of keystrokes, you can retrieve not only a prototype, but the
volume and page numbers for any of the canonical (i.e., IM-I through -V)
toolbox calls.  (And, hopefully, a future release will include the later
volumes.)  It's saved me many hours and prevented a lot of frustration. 
A truly spiffy product.
