Having just received my brand new A3000, I have some questions mostly relating
to the new commands in OS version 2.  There are some commands which are not
documented in the _Using Your System Software_ manual:

	- What is iprefs?  I notice that the default startup-sequence
	  runs it.
	- There's no documentation on the cpu command.
	- Likewise for the setfont command (the manual does refer to it,
	  though).
	- Some options in some commands don't seem to be recognized, yet.
	  Will they be implemented in the final version as documented?

The OS release is 2.01 --- it seems that 2.02 hasn't reached Finland, yet.

I have noticed that running _Their Finest Hour_ by Lucasfilm Games produces
some graphics glitches ('flashing' disturbance patterns on the screen).  Is
my Amber mistuned or is this a compatibility problem?  I suspect the latter
as no other software produces graphic glitches.  However, there were identical
glitches with other software before I finetuned my Amber.

BTW, using the mouse as a controller for this game seems to be too slow on
the A3000.  It has been a long time since I played it on my A500, but I
remember no problems with using the mouse (currently it's unusable).  Anyone
else notice this problem?

Thanks in advance,
