Dear Apple IIGS gurus:
	I am interested in getting started programming on the IIGS.  I 
would like to know as much as possible about what books one should 
purchase, what programming languages to consider, and which programming 
language packages to consider.  I have experience programming in BASIC and 
PASCAL, but am not against learning assembly or C.  Do all programming 
packages allow you to program the IIGS or do they require APW?
	Also, I purchased a IIGS from someone who didn't have the system 
documentation and I am at a loss for all of the things that I can do with 
the IIGS.  Does anyone know of a way to get a copy of this?  Actually, I 
don't know exactly what I am missing because he gave me absolutely no 
documentation.  Just the machine and some disks.
	I would appreciate that replies be sent directly to me and I will 
post a summary of the responses given.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
