	I just want to add to ken's statement that I feel that the current
1.3 RKM's (blue) are crucial even if you're doing 2.0 development.  I use them
often to look up things, and a programmer new to the Amiga must understand
the 1.3 system in order to understand 2.0 (which is 1.3 plus a bunch of new
stuff).  If you want to do 2.0-specific programming, the devcon notes from
June 1990 are VERY useful, and perhaps some of the previous volumes.  I 
believe the 2.0 autodocs/includes are available from cats (I'm not certain),
I know that the latest SAS releases are based on 2.0 includes.
