Not being a programmer myself, my first thought was the same as H. Phil Duby's - ROM kernel Manuals seem advanced. 2. If you're using wb2.0, so far I've found the AmigaWorld "Official AmigaDOS 2 companion" book quite friendly and readable. I'm pretty sure they had a wb1.3 book similar. You can get it at a WALDENS bookstore or any bookstore or through the AmigaWorld magazine itself. Hope this helps you like it helps this beginner (beginner on Amigas not computers by the way :) -- Pam Woods Email: Internet: axpmw@acad2.alaska.edu University Of Alaska Anchorage Bitnet: axpmw@alaska
